Recommended Today: Cavalleria Rusticana and I Pagliacci

[Philadelphia] The Delaware Valley Opera Company, the same company that brought the Philadelphia area the highly acclaimed operas of Menotti, Pergolesi, Puccini, Rossini, and Verdi - are back for the summer season with two Italian opera favorites; Ruggiero Leoncavallo (I Pagliacci) and Pietro Mascagni (Cavalleria Rusticana). The DVOC has mastered these operas in previous performances and are once again posied to please their audience.

KEEP IT IN YOUR PANTS
A scorned woman. A cuckolded husband. A womanizing soldier. This drama is settled the old-fashioned way, and accompanied by the composer’s most popular music.

TEARS OF A CLOWN
A traveling troupe of players comes to town. Jealousies and infidelities converge with tragic consequences. Come and enjoy one of the most famous operas of all time.
