Toronto City Opera Presents: Pagliacci

Wednesday, November 19th, 7:00pm | Saturday, November 22nd, 2:00pm | Sunday, November 23rd, 4:00pm

A traveling circus troupe arrives in a small village, ready to perform their latest comedy. But as the lines between life & art begin to blur, tensions within the troupe rise, infidelity & violence erupts, leading to a gripping examination of love, jealousy, and the personal toll that comes with being a performer. With intense music and unforgettable drama, Pagliacci remains one of opera’s most powerful and moving works. This production, set in the dying days of the travelling circus in the mid-20th century, immerses audiences up close and personal surrounded by the action.

Fully staged opera with piano accompaniment performed in Italian with English translated titles.
