Thanks to CVNC: Cultural Voice of North Carolina and C.C. Lilford!!

Don’t miss our wonderful pairing!!

Opera Wilmington's imaginative pairing of "Suor Angelica" and "Cavalleria Rusticana" proves that sometimes the most compelling artistic choices come from rethinking tradition. CVNC critic C.C. Lilford praises the production's understated staging, expressive performances, and thoughtful direction, writing that it is "a fine example of the riches to be found from mining the world of one-act operas."

Performances continue through July 27.
