NAU Lyric Theatre Presents Puccini's "Suor Angelica" and "Gianni Schicchi" - CANCELED

Suor Angelica tells the painful story of a nun who sacrifices everything for her child. Forced to leave her family she only survives day to day thinking of him, until she learns of his death. Heartbroken, Angelica makes a fateful decision to join her son once again. As poignant as Angelica’s story is, Schicchi’s could not be more absurd! A greedy family attempts to rewrite the will of their poor Cousin Buoso by enlisting the help of Gianni Schicchi. Little do they know that when Schicchi poses, before witnesses, as their cousin to dictate a new will, Schicchi has only HIS family in mind! Join over forty talented NAU vocal students onstage, with the NAU Symphony Orchestra providing accompaniment, in a performance sure to both break your heart and tickle your funny bone! Sung in Italian with English titles, the operas will be performed in Ardrey Memorial Auditorium, conducted by Dr. Daniel O’Bryant and staged by Lyric Theatre director Eric Gibson.
