The U-M Opera Theatre will present an operatic double bill featuring Giacomo Puccini's "Suor Angelica" and "Gianni Schicchi" at 8 p.m. Nov. 13-15 and 2 p.m. Nov. 16 at the Power Center for the Performing Arts.

"Suor Angelica" (or Sister Angelica) and "Gianni Schicchi" (pronounced "Johnny Skeekee") are two of the three one-act operas featured in Puccini's "Il Trittico" (The Triptych). Written as an operatic answer to Dante's "Divine Comedy," "Il Trittico" features the tales of three separate lives, each headed either toward heaven, hell or purgatory.

"Suor Angelica," a tale of loss and repentance, will be performed first.

Tickets, $20 and $15 for reserved seating and $8 for students with ID, are available at the Michigan League Ticket Office. Tickets also can be purchased at (734) 764-2538.—Kerianne Tupac, University Productions
