Seattle Opera opens its 2024-25 season with the clown prince of Italian verismo, Pagliacci. Running from August 3rd to 17th at McCaw Hall, this beloved opera tells the tragic tale of a commedia dell'arte troupe and the secrets they keep.
When a commedia dell'arte troupe arrives in a small Italian village, they bring with them a whirlwind of laughter, music, and drama. But beneath the surface of their playful antics, there lurks a dark secret. Canio, the troupe's leader, is consumed by jealousy over his beautiful wife, Nedda. As he watches her interact with the handsome villager Silvio, his suspicions grow until they erupt in a fit of rage.
With its soaring melodies, dramatic storytelling, and unforgettable characters, Pagliacci is a masterpiece of Italian opera. Seattle Opera's production promises to be a visually stunning and musically thrilling experience, featuring a world-class cast and orchestra.
Don't miss your chance to see Pagliacci at McCaw Hall. Tickets are on sale now at seattleopera.org.
