Suor Angelica / Gianni Schicchi

Two powerful stories about people undergoing a crisis. You get to laugh as well as cry. In the case of Suor Angelica, her seemingly peaceful life in a convent is brutally shattered. The comedy Gianni Schicchi – which is so much more than Puccini’s famous aria »O mio babbino caro« – is about trying to claim an inheritance under false pretenses. The protagonist hopes to avoid ending up in hell, as opposed to Sister Angelica’s tragic life, which ends in heavenly light and forgiveness.
