Suor Angelica and Gianni Schicchi make for a striking double bill, showcasing two contrasting sides of Puccini's operatic genius.

In Suor Angelica, a deeply emotional tragedy, we follow Sister Angelica, a nun tormented by the loss of her child and the harsh judgment of her aristocratic family. The opera explores themes of guilt, sacrifice, and redemption, culminating in a powerful and heart-wrenching finale.

In Gianni Schicchi, Puccini takes a lighter, comic turn with a witty, farcical story set in a Tuscan household. The scheming Gianni Schicchi cleverly manipulates a family of greedy relatives to secure a fortune, blending humor with sharp social commentary on avarice and deception.

Together, these operas offer a rich emotional contrast, from the deep, solemn reflections of Suor Angelica to the lively, humorous antics of Gianni Schicchi.
