This is the first time TTU Music Theatre will perform in the Wells Fargo Amphitheater in partnership with Lubbock Moonlight Musicals. Gates open for each performance at 7:00 p.m., with the opera starting at 8:00 p.m. Guests are encouraged to bring a lawn chair and a picnic supper to enjoy with the show.
“Suor Angelica” (Sister Angelica) is the second of Giacomo Puccini’s trio of one-act operas, Il Trittico. Sung in Italian, the story is a mystery that surrounds the title character and ends with a supernatural vision. The mystery continues with Gian-Carlo Menotti’s “The Old Maid and the Thief.” This opera, which is sung in English, will keep the audience guessing who the thief is as the story unfolds in a sleepy, southern town.
