Opera Cleveland’s final production of the 2010 season, a double bill of Ruggero Leoncavallo’s Pagliacci and Francis Poulenc’s La voix humaine, opens on Thursday, November 11 at 7:30 pm at Playhouse Square. A number of Obies are involved in the production, including Kira McGirr '06 (me!), women's chorus; Patrick Wickliffe '05, Assistant Chorus Master; and Charles Griffith '60, cello.
A visceral meeting of two Italian and French extremes. Pagliacci presents a “bleeding slice of life,” a verismo tour-de-force fraught with lurid, emotional turmoil. In La voix humaine, the torment and despair of a jilted lover emerges in an enthralling monologue.
Performances continue on Saturday, November 13, 2010 at 8:00 pm and Sunday, November 14, 2010 at 2:00 pm.
