Puccini: Love & Laughter
(A Centennial Celebration)
Suor Angelica & Gianni Schicchi
The University of Florida Opera Theatre and the Ocala Symphony Orchestra present two of Giacomo Puccini’s greatest works. The heartfelt Suor Angelica with its soaring orchestral score is one of his most beautiful musical dramas and reminiscent of the passionate Tosca. The hilarious Gianni Schicchi, his only true comedy, will be sung in a modern English translation with plenty of charming local references. It features one of the world’s most beloved songs, O mio babbino caro. Join these wonderful upcoming opera stars, the talented musicians of the OSO, and special guest artist, Colleen Beucher for these marvelous masterpieces. You don’t want to miss it!
(Both pieces are one-act operas with supertitles. 2-hour running time.)
Anthony Offerle, director
Archie G. Birkner, IV, conductor
