Go see an opera this weekend! Binghamton University Voice and Opera is presenting the Italian composer’s “Suor Angelica” and
“Gianni Schicchi” at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Feb.
23, and 3 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 25, in the Anderson Center Chamber Hall. Admission is $10 for the public, $5 for seniors and free for students.
“Suor Angelica” is a story of a high-born woman who has been sent to a convent for having a child out of wedlock and the tragedy that ensues when her strict aunt comes to see her for the first time in seven years. “Gianni Schicchi” is Puccini’s only comedy and is about a scheming family who convinces Schicchi to help them change the will of their rich uncle for their benefit. In the end, Schicchi tricks the family out of most of their ill-gotten gains to help his daughter marry her true love.
