Sacrifice and schemes – a double opera delight
Puccini’s Suor Angelica and Gianni Schicchi are a perfect pairing of high emotion, intense drama, and black comedy. Suor Angelica weaves a poignant tale of sacrifice and redemption, when a young nun is sent to a convent to repent her sins, and Gianni Schicchi is full of unexpected twists, deception and greed as a family dispute over a missing will.
Directed by internationally renowned Director, Sir David McVicar (WNO’s La traviata), sublime music, including the much-loved O mio babbino caro, contrasts and complements in equal measure in this dramatic double bill.
