Enjoy a sensational performance of some of opera's most beloved music, directed by Tara Faircloth. Under the baton of Timothy Myers, the performance begins with "Pagliacci," Leoncavallo's emotionally intense masterpiece of passion, infidelity, and murder featuring Canio the clown-a signature role of Utah Opera's founder Glade Peterson. Next, heartbreak turns to laughter as Utah Opera explores the lighter side of Puccini with "Gianni Schicchi."
