Pagliacci
Sung in English
In Leoncavallo’s legendary operatic thriller ‘Pagliacci’, or ‘Clowns’, the leader of a touring troupe of comedy actors, discovers his wife is having an affair. Before he finds out who it is, he must go on stage in the role of a despairing husband with a cheating wife. Culminating in a terrifying blurring of reality between stage and real life witnessed by a terrified audience and packed with sensational music, Pagliacci retains its cult status as the ultimate operatic ‘play-within-a-play’.
The second half of the evening will feature a newly created cabaret of popular and entertaining musical items.

Pagliacci
Cenir yn Saesneg
Yn opera ias a chyffro enwog Leoncavallo ‘Pagliacci’, neu ‘Clowns ', mae’r arweinydd grŵp teithiol o actorion comedi, yn darganfod bod ei wraig Nedda yn cael perthynas. Cyn darganfod pa ddyn, rhaid iddo fynd ar y llwyfan yn rhan gŵr anobeithiol gyda gwraig twyllodrus. Daw'r perfformiad i ben gyda'r realiti'n cael ei gymylu'n frawychus nes bod y llinell rhwng y perfformiad llwyfan a bywyd go iawn yn aneglur ac yn dychryn y gynulleidfa sy'n gwylio. Mae Pagliacci, sy’n llawn cerddoriaeth syfrdanol, yn dal gafael yn ei statws cwlt fel y 'ddrama-o-fewn-drama‘ operatig eithaf.
Bydd ail hanner y noson yn cynnwys cabaret newydd o eitemau cerddorol poblogaidd a difyr.
