Some secrets are too sacred to keep.

Experience Puccini's spellbinding Suor Angelica, a journey into a 17th-century Tuscan convent where a noble-born nun harbors a devastating secret. Forced behind convent walls after bearing an illegitimate child, Sister Angelica has waited seven years for news of her son. When her steely aunt finally arrives, their confrontation builds to one of opera's most shattering revelations, followed by a transcendent finale blending tragedy with divine redemption. Through Puccini's luminous score, this one-act masterpiece delivers a powerful tale of maternal love, loss, and grace that will hold you breathless from first note to final miracle.

This modern, staged production will be presented in Italian, with supertitles.

Approximate length: 1 hour (no intermission)
