about the shows
Back-to-back tales of love, betrayal, and revenge create a dramatic evening of emotional theatre—a powerful double-bill of verismo classics—Cavalleria Rusticana and I Pagliacci.
In Cavalleria Rusticana, a soldier returns home to discover the woman he loves has married another. One Easter morning, simmering tensions boil over in a small Sicilian village—with tragic consequences. Then in I Pagliacci, a traveling clown must perform while grappling with real-life heartbreak and betrayal. As the lines between stage and reality blur, a shocking finale unfolds before the audience’s eyes.
With sweeping melodies, gripping drama, and raw emotion, this is opera at its most visceral. Join us for a night of love, jealousy, and heartbreak you won’t forget.
