San Diego Opera: Pagliacci at San Diego Civic Theatre

“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?
