January 16, 17, & 18, 2026. Belk Theater at Blumenthal Performing Arts Center - 130 N Tryon St, Charlotte, NC. Two powerful operas. One unforgettable experience. Experience the emotional spectrum of Puccini with this stunning double bill at the Belk Theater.
"Suor Angelica" - a poignant tale of love, loss, and spiritual redemption. Set within the quiet walls of a convent, this deeply moving one-act opera follows a young woman whose heartbreak leads to a transcendent moment of grace. "Gianni Schicchi" - a clever, fast-paced comedy of greed and deception. When a wealthy man dies, his family scrambles to rewrite the will - but they didn’t count on the trickery of the wily Gianni Schicchi. Featuring the beloved aria “O mio babbino caro,” this opera is a delightful contrast to the drama that precedes it.
