PAGLIACCI
DATE & TIME
Saturday September 26 - 7:30 pm
VENUE
Edward W. Powers Auditorium, The DeYor Performing Arts Center
EVENT INFORMATION
Composer & Librettist: Ruggero Leoncavallo
A raucous band of traveling clowns, jugglers and actors who arrive in a small Italian town to perform their boisterous comedy act. Amid the circus-like atmosphere, tensions arise behind the scenes between the actor playing Pagliaccio, the lead clown, and his young wife. Pagliaccio suspects his wife is having an affair.
As his personal conflict is mirrored in the drama they are portraying on stage, the boundaries between performance and reality begin to blur. Consumed with jealousy, suspicion, and rage, Pagliaccio is unable to separate his own life from the fictional play they are enacting. A real-life tragedy unfolds on stage while the audience of villagers mistake the emotionally-charged drama as expert acting.
Ticket prices range from $37 to $87, including service fees. Credit card convenience fees will be added to your order at checkout. ALL SALES FINAL; no refunds or exchanges.
