Hawai`i Opera Theatre: Pagliacci & Carmina Burana

Oahu

Tuesday, April 1: 
Hawai`i Opera Theatre: Pagliacci & Carmina Burana. Leoncavallo’s Pagliacci, one of Opera’s most popular stories about Love, Jealousy, and Death has historically been paired with other pieces including Puccini’s Il Tabarro or Mascagni’s Cavalleria Rusticana. This new combination of Pagliacci with Carl Orff’s extraordinarily popular choral masterpiece Carmina Burana works magically as both pieces combine to touch upon the visceral emotions of the human condition.  Neal S. Blaisdel Concert Hall, 777 Ward Ave., Honolulu.  For tickets and information call 1(800) 745-3000 or visit www.ticketmaster.com.
