The Barns At Wolf Trap

Vienna, circa 1860. The financially strapped Count Waldner is lodging with his family in a Viennese hotel. His only path to solvency is for him to secure an advantageous marriage for one of his two daughters – and the family can only afford to present Arabella, the eldest, in the upper circles of society. To conceal the family’s indigence, the parents have raised Zdenka as a boy, dressing her accordingly. Arabella is not short of suitors but has resolved to wait for ‘Mr Right’. When Mandryka, an aristocrat from a distant region, arrives, he and Arabella are instantly smitten. Arabella only asks to be able to bid farewell to her friends and suitors at the Fasching ball that evening.

Immerse yourself in a world where the lines between reality and performance blur at The Glimmerglass Festival's new production of "Pagliacci." This gripping opera, composed and with a libretto by Ruggero Leoncavallo, is sung in Italian with projected English texts, ensuring an accessible and deeply engaging experience for all attendees. Set against the backdrop of a traveling troupe of players, "Pagliacci" explores themes of love, jealousy, and the tragic consequences of blurred realities through its compelling narrative and emotionally charged music.

The festival proudly presents this opera from July 27 to August 18, 2024, offering a unique pre-opera experience, "Lyrics on the Lawn," an outdoor picnic performance that begins 40 minutes before the curtain rises. The mainstage performance, lasting 1 hour and 45 minutes, promises to captivate audiences with its intensity and dramatic depth.

Under the generous sponsorship of Elizabeth M. and Jean-Marie R. Eveillard, the production boasts a talented creative team, including conductor Joseph Colaneri, director Brenna Corner, choreographer Eric Sean Fogel, and a host of other skilled professionals dedicated to bringing this story to life.

The cast features Holly Adams as a Clown Performer/Consultant, Robert Stahley as Canio, Amber Monroe as Nedda, Troy Cook as Tonio, Jonathan Patton as Silvio, Fran Daniel Laucerica as Peppe, and a vibrant ensemble that adds depth and color to the performance.

Set in a village where a troupe of players arrives to perform, the opera unfolds a tale of love, betrayal, and vengeance that mirrors the drama of the characters' offstage lives. As the boundary between performance and reality dissolves, the audience is drawn into a powerful narrative that culminates in an unforgettable climax.

Don't miss the opportunity to experience this masterful blend of comedy, thriller, and tragedy at The Glimmerglass Festival. Secure your tickets now for a summer filled with myth, mystery, and adventure, and support the arts by becoming a part of the Glimmerglass community.

Sharp-witted court jester Rigoletto is the philandering Duke’s right-hand man, always quick to defend his patron’s womanizing and mock his master’s victims. But the joke is on him.
