FEBRUARY 24 & 26, 2023

Composed by Giacomo Puccini
Libretto by Giovacchino Forzano

Puccini’s heart wrenching one-act opera Suor Angelica tells the story of Sister Angelica, a woman forced by her aristocratic family to join a convent and give up the child she birthed out of wedlock. Puccini’s glorious music captures the profound emotion of a mother’s love and loss of that which is held most dear. Conductor Judith Yan, soprano Elaine Alvarez and mezzo-soprano Jill Grove will all make their Opera Omaha debuts in this poignant production directed by Keturah Stickann (2018 Opera Outdoors).
