In Suor Angelica, Puccini’s intimate score unfolds within a world shaped by memory. In this production, the convent is inhabited by ghosts — women who once obeyed, women who once loved, and women who once surrendered something unspeakable. This season continues our exploration of what opera can be today, approaching Suor Angelica not as a museum object, but as a work shaped by the lives of these women.
Presented as part of Teatro Grattacielo’s America 250 double bill alongside Jefferson Lives!, the opera serves as an inward counterpart to a public story of liberty, shifting the focus from civic struggle to the private cost carried by individuals within larger systems. Premiering at The Flea’s Sam Theater in November 2026, the production takes place in a space known for bold storytelling, where contemporary theatrical tools, light, and technology support new ways of encountering classic works, while honoring the emotional force at the heart of Puccini’s music.
