At the very centre of Puccini’s late one-act opera is a nun with a tragic secret. Set in a 17th century Italian convent, Suor Angelica follows the story of Sister Angelica, whose search for peace is troubled by her past. The opera contains some of Puccini’s most intimate and atmospheric music, including Angelica’s haunting solo, ‘Senza mamma’.

As part of their International Festival residency, the LSO are joined by their Chief Conductor Sir Antonio Pappano, an unparalleled interpreter of Puccini’s music, bringing to the fore the drama and sorrow at the heart of this opera.
