Two operas, one unforgettable experience:
Coming This May from Opera Magnifico, Cavalleria Rusticana & I Pagliacci! Experience a night of raw passion, jealousy, and heartbreak with this thrilling double bill of Italian verismo masterpieces, coming to Liberty Corner Presbyterian Church in May 2026 (May 16 at 4:00 pm & May 17 at 3:00 pm). Pietro Mascagni’s Cavalleria Rusticana plunges you into a Sicilian village on Easter morning, where forbidden love and bitter betrayal erupt into a tragic confrontation between former lovers — a story of honor, vengeance, and shattered faith. Ruggero Leoncavallo’s I Pagliacci follows a traveling troupe of performers whose onstage comedy masks devastating personal turmoil. When jealousy and infidelity spill from life into performance, the laughter fades and tragedy strikes — culminating in the unforgettable aria “Vesti la giubba.” Don’t miss this powerful performance of brilliant music, unforgettable melodies and gripping drama. On the Stage at Liberty Corner Presbyterian Church. Click here to purchase tickets!
