Join us for an unforgettable evening of opera with Opera Kelowna's captivating double bill featuring Ruggero Leoncavallo’s Pagliacci and Giacomo Puccini’s Gianni Schicchi! Supported by ATB Wealth, these performances will take place on Friday, August 23, and Saturday, August 24, at the Kelowna Community Theatre.Pagliacci transports you to the world of a 1930s Okanagan traveling theatre troupe. This intense drama unfolds with a jealous husband, a love triangle, and a tragic conclusion that will leave you breathless. Experience the powerful emotions and iconic aria “Vesti la giubba” in this timeless tale of passion and revenge.
In contrast, Gianni Schicchi offers a hilarious romp through the antics of a cunning family scheming over an inheritance. Set in the same 1930s Okanagan setting, this comedy promises laughter and hijinks, culminating in the beloved aria “O mio babbino caro.”
Directed by the talented Glynis Leyshon and featuring nationally recognized performers, this production is a must-see for opera lovers and newcomers alike. Performed in their original Italian with English translations projected, these operas are accessible and enjoyable for all audiences.
Don't miss this unique opportunity to experience double the drama and double the delight - all in one night!
In line with our commitment to accessibility, 10% of all mainstage performance tickets are available on a Pay-What-You-Wish basis, thanks to the support of the Thomas Alan Budd Foundation.
