Pagliacci

When Canio, leader of a theatre troupe, sees his life reflected in rehearsals for an upcoming opera, he becomes convinced that his wife is having an affiar.

Can Canio temper his spiralling emotions, or will his jealousy get the better of him?

Art imitates life in English Touring Opera's new production of Pagliacci. Ripped from the headlines about a real-life crime case from composer Ruggero Leoncavallo's own childhood, Pagliacci packs passion, melodrama, and revenge into an intense 90 minutes of drama.

Eleanor Burke (founder of the pioneering sustainable opera company, Green Opera) makes her directional debut with ETO alongside ETO Musical Director Gerry Cornelius.

Sung in English with English surtitles.
