Music and libretto by Ruggero Leoncavallo
Saturday, November 21 at 7:30 p.m.+ Sunday, November 22 at 2 p.m.*+ *The November 22 performance will be audio described.
Art imitates lifeand life can take unexpected turns. A traveling troupe of comedians arrives in a lively town, ready to bring laughter to the stage. But behind the painted smiles and playful costumes lie secrets, jealousy, and a hidden love affair that threatens to tear the group apart. As the story they perform begins to mirror their own turmoil, the line between stage and reality starts to blur. What begins as an evening of lighthearted entertainment erupts into a suspenseful tale of heartbreak, suspicion, and revenge. Pagliacci is a riveting, fast-moving drama that shows what happens when emotions run too deep for any mask to hide.
This performance will be sung in Italian with English captions.
This opera contains adult themes and is recommended for ages 13 and older.
