Suor Angelica – Random Opera Company

Friday 2nd April 2021, 8pm

Concerned about the local spread of the pandemic, the Abbess has instructed all of the sisters in the convent to remain confined to their rooms; taking the opportunity to use the solitude for contemplation and prayer. The sisters join daily prayers remotely.
Meanwhile, a visit from the Princess to her niece – a young noblewoman sent to the convent as penance for bearing a child out of wedlock – sets in motion a series of dire actions that ultimately result in tragedy, forgiveness, and peace.

Performed in Italian, with English subtitles
