Laaaa!!! I'm in an Opera!!!!! Hurray for Singing Nuns!

Laura is performing again! And this time as a nun!

It's a one-act opera called Suor Angelica by Giacomo Puccini. Clicky, clicky, the wiki has a decent and concise version of the plot.

I play the First Touriere (which I am guessing is the "alms sisters" in the cast list on the wiki). I pretty much just sing about goods that we got for the convent, oil, almonds, flour, butter, etc. I also get to tell Sister Angelica that there's a coach at the door!

The music in this opera is very pretty, at least I think it is. I'll have to figure out a way to post a clip of the music :) I've always been a fan of Pucccini's operas, and here is another one that I enjoy. It's just so dang pretty!

So! If you're gonna be in the area, come and see me in a habit! Nuns'll be singing with Sally Field no where in sight! You can find ticket ordering info here, or just ask me and I can reserve some tickets for ya :)
