Program
CIM Opera Theater presents a
Join CIM Opera Theater students with director, David Bamberger, in fully-
staged productions of Haydn’s The Apothecary and Puccini’s Suor Angelica.
All opera productions feature projected English translations, so you won’t
miss a word!
* The Apothecary Haydn's delightful comedy goes beyond
the "eternal triangle" to the "eternal rectangle."
No less than three suitors vie for the hand of the lovely Grilletta.
See how she finds her way to true love when faced
with the old apothecary who is her guardian, a rich young dandy,
and an apprentice who is too shy to "pop the question"!
+ Suor Angelica The quiet life of a convent is shattered
by the intrusion of the outside world.
Puccini's irresistible music leads us into the extraordinary
emotional life of one of the nuns, Angelica,
as she makes the journey from despair and tragedy
to the miracle of divine grace.
