English Touring Opera – Pagliacci (Leoncavallo)
Hall for Cornwall, Back Quay, Truro, UK
Dates
About this event
Tempers rise and the melodrama follows in Leoncavallo’s Pagliacci.
The story…
When Canio, leader of a theatre troupe, sees his life reflected in rehearsals for an upcoming opera, he becomes convinced that his wife is having an affair. Can Canio temper his spiralling emotions, or will his jealousy get the better of him?
The production…
Art imitates life in English Touring Opera’s new production of Pagliacci. Ripped from the headlines about a real-life crime case from composer Ruggero Leoncavallo’s own childhood, Pagliacci packs passion, melodrama and revenge into an intense 90 minutes of drama.
The artists…
Eleanor Burke (founder of the pioneering sustainable opera company, Green Opera) makes her directorial debut with ETO, alongside the company’s Music Director Gerry Cornelius.
Age recommendation: 12+
Running time: Approximately 1 hour and 35 minutes including a 20 minute interval.
