Pagliacci Presented by Opera Festival of Chicago

The Opera Festival of Chicago’s season concludes with one of the pillars of Italian opera and one of the most passionate dramas of all times, Pagliacci by Ruggero Leoncavallo.

Love triangles, heartbreaks, betrayal and violent verismo vendettas erupt on stage, where art imitates life in this tragic masterpiece. Accompanied by a 40 piece orchestra, traditional costumes, sets, full chorus and the top opera singers of our society, the running time is 105 minutes with intermission, and it will be sung in Italian with projected English supertitles.
