Pittsburgh Opera presents an adulterous double feature

Pittsburgh Opera presents an adulterous double feature

Pittsburgh Opera presents an adulterous double feature not seen here since 1996.

Jealousy, two-timing, and revenge unite the back-to-back tragedies of Cavalleria Rusticana and Pagliacci. Possessiveness, machismo, and rage fuel their bloody conclusions.

Enjoy two amazing operas on the same night. November 9th-17th.
