At the very centre of Puccini’s late one-act opera is a nun with a tragic secret. Set in 20th century Italy, 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’.

LSO: Puccini’s Suor Angelica

Usher Hall

A pairing of one of today’s greatest artists and a beloved concerto is not to be missed! A longtime favorite of audiences and critics alike, pianist Kirill Gerstein, is “a poet of sound who knows how to cast a spell on his listeners” (Der Tagesspiegel—Berlin) returns to perform Tchaikovsky’s soaring, thrilling concerto. Performances of the suite from Ravel’s mesmerizing ballet about the pastoral romance between two mythic figures mark the 150th anniversary of the composer’s birth.
