Overview
Two operas, two betrayed husbands, two tragic ends. In Cavalleria rusticana the calm of a Sicilian Easter morning is broken by a jilted lover who sets off a chain of events culminating in violent tragedy.
In true theatrical tradition Pagliacci's clown tries to go on with the show, but his real life humiliation and despair lead to a grim climax.
The violent passions and raw emotions of these two works changed the direction of Italian opera forever.
Gala Opening Night
Always anticipated as a highlight of the year, the Sarasota Opera Opening Gala will follow the performance of Cavalleria rusticana and Pagliacci. Opera-lovers join for dining and dancing in celebration of the start of another opera season.
