SUOR ANGELICA
Suor Angelica, set in a convent in Siena during the latter part of the seventeenth century, recounts the fall, redemption, and final transfiguration of its central character, Sister Angelica, who has taken the veil in repentance for bearing a child out of wedlock.

CINDERELLA
Based on the well-loved story, Cinderella is a chamber operetta with dialogue in three brief acts by Pauline Viardot. It has been described as "a retelling of the Cinderella story with Gallic wit, Italianate bel canto, and a quirkiness all her [Viardot's] own."
