Fundraising event: Cavalleria Rusticana/I Pagliacci Double Bill!
In celebration of our brand new 501(c)(3) status, we are thrilled to present a truly special event for our wonderful community: our very first fully staged and costumed production!
Join us for a spectacular double-bill performance of Pietro Mascagni’s Cavalleria Rusticana and Ruggiero Leoncavallo’s I Pagliacci!
This iconic pairing captures all the gripping drama and “edge-of-your-seat” excitement that defines Verismo (Realism) opera. Though these are two distinct works, they were first performed together as a double bill by the Metropolitan Opera in 1893—a tradition that has become a classic ever since.
Both stories unfold in rural southern Italy at the end of the 19th century: Cavalleria Rusticana is set on Easter morning in a Sicilian village, while I Pagliacci takes place during the Feast of the Assumption in a small Calabrian town.
At the heart of both operas is a passionate and deadly love triangle, as each explores the powerful themes of love, jealousy, and murder.
WHEN: November 4th, 2025, at 6:00 PM
WHERE:The Slipper Room, 167 Orchard Street, New York, NY 10002
TICKETS: https://events.humanitix.com/pagliacci-cavalleria-rusticana-opera-gala
We can’t wait to celebrate this exciting new chapter with you!
