Join Biola Conservatory’s Opera Theater for it’s 19th season with performances of Giacomo Puccini’s magnificent Suor Angelica and Gianni Schicchi. A drama of redemptive love. A comedy of deceit and pure fun. A nun seeks eternal salvation for her sin while a cunning con artist works to get rich quick in this double-bill of one-act operas by Giacomo Puccini. They are two of the trio of operas known as Il trittico (the Triptych.) Featuring one of opera’s most beloved arias, “O mio babbino caro,” Gianni Schicchi is paired with Suor Angelica in a night of deep emotion and uproarious laughter. Both are opera gems by Italy’s most romantic and dramatic composer. The production features Metropolitan Opera baritone Richard Zeller singing the title role of Gianni Schicchi and Dr. Jeanne Robison as the Principessa in Suor Angelica. They are joined by almost 30 students from the Conservatory’s Voice and Opera program singing in dramatic roles. This masterful combination is directed by Zeller and Robison and will be sung in Italian with projected English supertitles. Tragedy and comedy come together in two beloved Puccini operas: it has something for everyone! Admission: $20 General; $15 Faculty, Staff, Sr. Citizens, Alumni; $10 Students
