Suor Angelica

About the show

Sister Angelica, who has lived in a convent for seven years, learns that her aunt, the Princess, has come to obtain her signature on a document transferring her inheritance to her sister Anna Viola. Angelica asks about the son she was forced to leave behind. The Princess tells her that he died of fever two years earlier. Angelica signs the document and collapses in grief. She makes and drinks poison, then realizes she has committed a mortal sin and fears she will be separated from her son forever. As she dies, she asks the Virgin Mary for mercy and sees a vision of the Virgin and her son coming to embrace her.
