On Friday in downtown Kalamazoo during the monthly Art Hop, the West Michigan Opera Project will be in the thick of things at First Presbyterian Church, offering a free performance of Puccini's one-act opera, Suor Angelica. If you don't know the story, that's okay, says soprano/director Sarah Faasse - the words will be projected on a screen during the action. Faasse and contralto Camille DeBoer share personal stories of how this opera - one of the works closest to Puccini's heart - has changed and even mirrored their own lives.
The performance begins at 7:30 pm at First Presbyterian Church.
