An immersive opera experience at the Millennium Event Center. ​Leoncavallo’s Pagliacci begins—but you’re inside the world and under the tent. The audience moves within the opera. You're not watching Canio—you can see the sweat on his brow as he spirals into madness. You’re just feet from Nedda and Silvio as they plot their escape in hushed tones. When the performance within the opera begins, you are part of the jeering, laughing crowd—until the laughter stops. This production of Pagliacci marks a bold new chapter in Piedmont Opera’s 49-year history—blending classical opera with site-specific performance to create an event that’s immersive, intimate, and unforgettable. It’s not just a night at the opera. It’s a living opera in a living space

Bartlett Sher’s production provides spectacular visuals to match, with towering sets and proscenium-filling projections designed by Jenny Melville and Mark Grimmer of 59 Studio.
