Buffalo Opera Company Sotto Voce Stages Puccini’s “Sister Angelica” Friday, June 28 and Sunday June 30th at St. Joseph University Parish in Buffalo.

A century ago Giacomo Puccini wrote three one-act operas (il trittico) which premiered at the Metropolitan Opera in New York. The second of the trilogy, “Suor Angelica,” invokes deep, existential and religious themes as it tells the story of a nun (Sister Angelica) who penitently cloisters herself in a convent near Florence after giving birth to an illegitimate child.

Local opera company Sotto Voce is staging “Sister Angelica” (directed by Alex Huddleston) at Saint Joseph University Parish, 3269 Main Street, Buffalo for two performances, Friday June 28 at 7:00PM and Sunday, June 30, 2024 at 3:00PM.

Tickets are $35 and may be purchased here.
