From Mozart to Gershwin...the trials of love
CosÌ fan tutte
by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

Pagliacci
by Ruggero Leoncavallo
Jealousy. Betrayal. Rage. As the clown ceases to act, giving in to the power of raw emotion, the crowd cheers until the murderous end. Humanity fuels insanity in this tale of “the mad clown,” making it nothing less than pure, irresistible drama.
