Every once in a while a trip to the opera offers "two for the price of one" - an operatic double bill. With this performance, we offer the second and third of Giacomo Puccini’s trio of one-act operas known as Il trittico.
Suor Angelica takes you through a heart-wrenching tale of piety, passion, and penance. You’ll be on the edge of your seat as you experience the love only a mother can possess. Puccini brings us, once again, his soaring melodies, and gripping vocal lines in a score that will rival your favorite works.
Gianni Schicchi is a satirical farce and one of the funniest operas you'll ever experience, packed with comedic elements such as money-grubbing relatives, fake deaths, and a frantic family. Highlighting the score is one of the best-known and most beloved arias, “O mio babbino caro.”
