From the San Diego Opera: Suor Angelica tells the story of a woman (Marina Costa-Jackson) who bears a child out of wedlock and is sent to a convent for penance. After seven years, she is visited by her aunt, the Principessa, who brings tragic news of her son, which sets in motion a series of dire actions that ultimately result in tragedy, forgiveness, and peace. The comic-opera Gianni Schicchi begins with the death of wealthy Florentine Buoso Donati, and his distraught family who are upset about being forgotten in his will. So they enlist the help of fixer Gianni Schicchi who helps turn the tables, but not in the way they expect. Considered a comic masterpiece, this is a dark satire based on a real story mentioned in Dante’s Inferno and includes the famous aria “O mio babbino caro.” Making a welcome return for these performances is mezzo-soprano Stephanie Blythe, who will sing the role of the Principessa in Suor Angelica, and will take on the title role of Gianni Schicchi, a role traditionally sung by a baritone, for an opera first!

Exhibition dates: Mar. 1 through Apr. 7, 2022 Opening reception: Thursday, Mar. 3, from 4-7 p.m. Mesa College Art Gallery, FA 103 Free Parking in Lot # 1 for reception. Park in STUDENT spaces ONLY. From the gallery: Ben Allanoff and Anna Stump’s two-person exhibition delves into the contradictions of the Mojave Desert, a militarized training ground but also a place notable for incredibly tenacious forms of life. Stump’s paintings and Allanoff’s assemblages transform discarded and found materials into haunting artworks. The works represent an ironic juxtaposition: an ecology where a huge military enterprise focused on training people to kill, coexists with diverse life-forms that for millions of years have evolved, adapted, and persisted with mind-boggling creativity and determination. The exhibition renders visible often overlooked aspects of violence, conquest and resilience in the desert. The exhibition will also include a lecture by San Diego filmmaker Evan Apodaca who through interactive works and documentary video explores the ways that the military shaped and exploited San Diego.
