Cavalleria rusticana & Pagliacci

Show Information

This gripping double bill dives deep into the heartbreak of love gone wrong — and the extreme choices people make when they’ve been betrayed. Passion turns deadly in two love triangles, set in dramatically different worlds: one in the sun-drenched hills of Sicily, the other in a gritty urban landscape. Lyric’s Music Director Enrique Mazzola leads a stellar cast, featuring audience favorites Russell Thomas, Quinn Kelsey, and Gabriella Reyes in Elijah Moshinsky’s striking original production. With two short operas in one evening, it’s a perfect introduction for newcomers — and a thrilling treat for longtime fans of these intense, emotional masterpieces.
