NEC Opera presents Puccini's Suor Angelica + Gianni Schicchi

Take a journey through unbridled emotion at its finest: the exceptional students of NEC's Opera department and Philharmonia orchestra bring you tragedy, then comedy in this double bill of one-act operas by Puccini.

In the tragic opera Suor Angelica, a young woman has a baby out of wedlock and suffers the censure of an unforgiving society. Then, the crackling comedy Gianni Schicchi gives us a tale of trickery and greed. When a rich relation dies, how far will the family go to write themselves into the will? Includes “O mio babbino caro,” one of the most cherished arias in opera.

Guest conductor Christopher Larkin leads the NEC Philharmonia with stage direction by Steven Goldstein.
