2025 Opera Excursions
Sarasota Opera
Cavalleria rusticana by Pietro Mascagni
Pagliacci by Ruggiero Leoncavallo
Saturday, March 29, 2025 @ 1:30pm
This one-act opera, filled with passionate tuneful music, is Leoncavallo’s lurid tale of a murderous clown’s vengeful act.
Based on an actual crime, Pagliacci features a leading tenor role considered to be one of the most challenging because of the wide range of moods the character exhibits, from manic humor to murderous rage. This roller coaster of an opera will have you on the edge of your seat!
