"Cavalleria Rusticana & Pagliacci" (Italian operas) 65% off discount tickets

If you've ever wondered what it might be like to experience classic Italian opera, this is your chance.

An adulterous double feature

Jealousy, two-timing, and revenge unite the back-to-back tragedies of Cavalleria Rusticana and Pagliacci. Possessiveness, machismo, and rage fuel their bloody conclusions.

Music by Pietro Mascagni, Libretto by Guido Menasci and Giovanni Targioni-Tozzetti (Cavalleria Rusticana)
Music and libretto by Ruggero Leoncavallo (Pagliacci)
NOVEMBER 9, 12, 15, 17, 2024

Cavalleria Rusticana: On Easter Sunday, Alfio discovers his wife Lola has rekindled her old romance with Turiddu.

Pagliacci: Just before a performance of his traveling circus troupe, clown Canio discovers the infidelity of his wife Nedda. This opera contains stirring arias such as Vesti La Giubba famously sung by Pavarotti.

Join us for this back-to-back double feature of love and hate—the first time Pittsburgh Opera has performed these two operas together since 1996!

Music Director Antony Walker conducts.

Understand Every Word: Both operas are sung in Italian with English translations projected above the stage at all performances.
