Upcoming Events

2012 Festival

Welcome to the 4th annual Opera on the Avalon Summer Music Festival. Join us and 100 exciting guests artists from around the world from May 27th - June 4th.

Suor Angelica and Gianni Schicchi

Suor Angelica was Giacomo Puccini's favorite of Il trittico, his three one-act operas. It is the moving story of a young woman from a noble family who becomes a cloistered nun. A visit from her aunt after seven years of silence brings Angelica a shocking and life changing revelation. With the oustanding sopranos LIda Szkwarek and Angelique Peretta singing the role of Angelica in their Opera on the Avalon debut, the heartbreaking climax of this all-female opera is sure to be an inspiration.

Gianni Schicchi is the crafty con artist who outwits greedy relatives determined to rewrite a deceased man's will in their favour. Filled with outrageous antics, this comedic masterpiece stars Andy Jones as the patriarch of the Donati family. The score features one of Puccini's most beautiful and beloved arias, O mio babbino caro.
