SAS Performing Arts Company Concert Opera continues its season of concert opera performances with Giacomo Puccini's collection of three one act operas Il Tabarro, Suor Angelica and Gianni Schicchi collectively titled Il Trittico.

The performance will take place on Sunday February 12, 2023 at 3:00pm at Christ and St. Stephen's Church 120 West 69th Street in New York City.

This will mark the only New York City performance this season of the complete work as Puccini intended.

SAS Concert Opera's mission is to present promising young artists on the brink of successful careers the chance to sing repertoire, alongside established artists, without the trappings of scenery and costumes, and present great works of music to a new audience.

The three diverse operas of Puccini's Il Trittico (Il Tabarro, Suor Angelica and Gianni Schicchi) are told with distinctive musical and linguistic language-the tragic and veristic Il Tabarro a story of betrayl and murder on the banks of the Seine around 1900, the mystical and spiritual Suor Angelica a story of a nun's redemption for the love of a child she bore out of wedlock, and a masterful opera buffa comedy, Gianni Schicchi where a family's greed and a quick wit cause chaos. These operas are easy for an audience to enjoy at first hearing, and thus are wonderful first operas for newcomers to the form in that they give the public a wide variety of styles in a single evening; for opera veterans, Il Trittico provides a unique experience to enjoy verismo, heartfelt emotion, and comic opera in one evening. It was Puccini's wish that the three operas always be performed together.

SAS Performing Arts cast includes Sopranos Rebecca Kidnie as Giorgetta in Il Tabarro and the title role of Suor Angelica. Juyoung Ma will sing Lauretta in Gianni Schicchi. Tenor Samuel White will sing Luigi in Il Tabarro and Tenor Eric Sebek will perform Rinuccio in Gianni Schicchi. Baritone Geoffrey di Giorgio will sing Michele in Il Tabarro and the title role in Gianni Schicchi. Shanley Horvitz will sing Zita in Gianni Schicchi. Grammy Award winner and Metropolitan Opera luminary mezzo soprano Tichina Vaughn will sing La Frugola in Il Tabarro and La Zia Principessa in Suor Angelica. All the Operas will be sung in Italian.

SAS Performing arts will continue our Student Insider program with free tickets for students under the age of 12 as long as they are accompanied by a adult with a valid ticket. Visit www.sasperformingartstickets to reserve your free ticket..
