CAVALLERIA RUSTICANA & I PAGLIACCI
FRIDAY MARCH 13, 2009 8PM
AT BARDAVON

Teatro Lirico D’Europa delivers the famous operatic double-bill, bringing with it the intense drama, passionate lyricism and ultimate tragedy of obsessive love. Set in a Sicilian village on Easter Day, Mascagni’s “Cavalleria Rusticana” unleashes a tale of adultery and betrayal that can only bring revenge and death. With all the irony of a play within a play, Leoncavallo’s “I Pagliacci” takes infidelity off the stage of a troupe of traveling actors and into their lives, ending in murder and the creation of the iconic melancholy clown.
