The Tartan Online: Nuns and gamblers alike graced Chosky Theater this weekend in the School of Music’s production of Sacred and Profane. Appropriately named, this production featured two one-act operas: Giacomo Puccini’s Suor Angelica, which depicts a nun with a questionable past living in a 17th-century convent, and Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht’s Mahagonny-Songspiel, the story of six characters who attempt to find happiness by creating a society shaped by their carefree desires.
