Atlanta Opera is streaming a circus-themed production of Pagliacci, as part of the 2020-21 Molly Blank Big Tent Series.

The circus performers in Pagliacci grapple with tragedy and question boldly whether they must perform despite heartbreak and ruin.

In The Atlanta Opera's completely new fall production of Leoncavallo's verismo classic, audiences enter a dystopian world where artists question their ability to perform, distance separates loved ones, and a play-within-a-play exposes a great betrayal.

Does art imitate life? Or does life imitate art?

Performed in Italian with English supertitles

Composer: Ruggero Leoncavallo
Librettist: Ruggero Leoncavallo
Premiere Date: May 21, 1892, Teatro Dal Verme, Milan

Review: JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR at Springer Opera House

Today, an entire genre of Christian rock exists to mix praise with modern music. But in 1970, it was unheard of until Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice's Jesus Christ Superstar burst onto the scene. The mix of heart-pounding guitar chords with the story of the final week of Christ's ministry was revolutionary and became one of the defining musical theatre albums of the Baby Boomer generation. Jesus Christ Superstar returns to the stage in a Springer Opera House's production that has a strong cast and choreography, but which struggles at times with coherence.
