“Send in the clowns… don’t bother, they’re here.”
The commedia dell’arte troupe has come to town, and on the cards for tonight: the troubles of Pagliaccio...
…and to go with that, the incredible, hair-raising music and libretto of Ruggero Leoncavallo that ensured that the tragicomic opera became a staple in opera repertoire around the world today, alongside the brilliance of one of North America’s finest orchestras, and ingenious staging.
So are you coming to the commedia?
