Opera Omaha to Present ‘Suor Angelica’
Omaha, NE—Opera Omaha will continue its 2022-2023 Season with a production of Suor Angelica.
Composed by Giacomo Puccini, notable composer of Madama Butterfly, La bohème, and Tosca, this lesser-known opera explores grief and hope through the eyes of Sister Angelica. After being forced by her aristocratic family to join a convent and give up the child she birthed out of wedlock, Angelica’s trauma returns when an unexpected arrival leads her to wrestle with endurance in the light of lost hope. Puccini’s glorious music captures the profound emotion of a mother’s love and loss of that which is held most dear.
