Would you kill for love?

Dive into a world of betrayal, jealousy, and murder, with our reimagined take on Leoncavallo’s classic opera, Pagliacci. Our reinterpretation set in an apocalyptic dreamscape and staged in the round at the Blaisdell Arena, promises a truly distinctive and immersive journey, unlike any other opera we’ve produced before.

Pagliacci

Just in time for Valentine’s Day! The Merry Widow dances into our hearts with its beautiful melodies and witty storyline. Hanna Glawari is a vastly wealthy young widow from the small and poverty-stricken Balkan province of Pontevedro. Ambassador Baron Zeta is anxious that when Hanna re-marries, it is to a Pontevedrian and not a Frenchman, to keep her money in the country and save them all from ruin. J. Ernest Green conducts this bubbly delight while Jamie Offenbach and James M. Norman bring the light-hearted comedy to life. Starring as the merry widow is Alyson Cambridge (Toledo Opera’s Carmen) and BGSU voice professor Keith Phares as Count Danilo.
