Suor Angelica is the second part in Puccini’s Il trittico (The Triptych; Il tabarro, Suor Angelica, and Gianni Schicchi), three one-act operas.
It is a tragic story about Angelica, the daughter of an aristocratic family, who had a child out of wedlock and now lives in a convent. Years later, Angelica’s tale comes to a heartbreaking end when she is reunited with her aunt, The Princess.
