Portland State University’s award-winning opera program presents two one-act performances by Italian composer Giacomo Puccini, with libretto by Giovacchino Forzano. “Suor Angelica,” a story of loss and maternal devotion, and “Gianni Schicchi,” Puccini’s only comedy, will be sung in Italian by a chorus of students directed by Dan Wallace Miller. The show runs April 18-27 at Lincoln Performance Hall on the Portland State University campus. For more information, see portlandstate.universitytickets.com.
