Get ready for a night of powerful melodies and unforgettable stories as we bring the magic of opera to the stage! Featuring the stunning voice of guest soprano Cassandra Amorim, this concert is filled with favourites that will move and delight music lovers of all ages. Join us to experience the emotion and beauty that only live opera can offer.

A traveling circus troupe arrives in a small village, ready to perform their latest comedy. But as the lines between life & art begin to blur, tensions within the troupe rise, infidelity & violence erupts, leading to a gripping examination of love, jealousy, and the personal toll that comes with being a performer. With intense music and unforgettable drama, Pagliacci remains one of opera’s most powerful and moving works.

This production, set in the dying days of the travelling circus in the mid-20th century, immerses audiences up close and personal surrounded by the action.
