San Diego Opera - Pagliacci

San Diego Opera presents Pagliacci, Ruggero Leoncavallo's classic opera about a commedia dell'arte troupe and the tragic love affair that unfolds both on and off stage. This production highlights the company's commitment to theatrical storytelling, with the music driving the drama. It's a chance to see a foundational work of Italian opera performed live. The show takes place on Sunday, November 1, 2026, at the San Diego Civic Theatre. This is a grand performance hall, well-suited for a full-scale opera with its acoustics and seating. It's a good evening out for those interested in traditional opera and dramatic vocal performances.
