P E R T H F E S T I V A L O F T H E A R T S 11 SUOR ANGELICA PUCCINI Opera Bohemia, Scotland’s professional touring company, joins forces with Amicus Orchestra, to present Puccini’s heart rending ‘Suor Angelica’. It has been seven years since Sister Angelica gave birth to a child out of wedlock and was forced by her family to join a convent. Her aunt, a Princess, visits with news that leads to a tragic turn of events. This is one of Puccini’s most deeply emotional operas; be sure to bring your tissues! Directed by Douglas Nairne, this touching new production will draw in the sacred atmosphere of St. Ninian’s Cathedral. A stellar cast is led by South African soprano Sarah-Jane Brandon, whose career has seen her perform leading roles at Glyndebourne, ENO, and across Europe. Alistair Digges conducts Puccini’s sensitive and moving score, which includes the famous aria ‘Senza Mamma’. Sung in Italian with English surtitles, running time approximately 70 minutes. 20:00 | TUES 27 & WED 28 MAY ST NINIAN’S CATHEDRAL 19:00 pre-opera ticketed Director’s Talk (included in premier seating tickets) TICKETS £19.50 - £30 | U18s £5 Box office on 01738 621031
