Suor Angelica
- Giacomo Puccini
First performance: 1918, New York, NY
Puccini’s beloved Suor Angelica, part of his Il Trittico, is a tragic story of loss and betrayal. Sister Angelica, a kind and loving young nun, has been banished to a convent for giving birth to an illegitimate child. After several years without any contact from her wealthy family, a visitor arrives with news of her child and an ultimatum. This is Puccini at his lyrical best, spinning this heart-wrenching tale through his exquisite melodies and sensitivity to the drama.
