ETO Pre-Show Talks: PAGLIACCI

Join members of ETO’s creative team for a pre-show talk where they will share insights into this new production of Leoncavallo’s Pagliacci.

Hear from ETO’s Spring 2026 company about bringing the upcoming tour to life – find out more about English Touring Opera, this season’s creative process and what you can expect from the evening’s performance. Bring along your questions – there will also be a short Q&A to conclude the talk!

Art imitates life in English Touring Opera’s new production of Pagliacci. Ripped from the headlines about a real-life crime case from composer Ruggero Leoncavallo’s own childhood, Pagliacci packs passion, melodrama and revenge into an intense 90 minutes of drama. Eleanor Burke (founder of the pioneering sustainable opera company, Green Opera) makes her directorial debut with ETO alongside ETO Music Director Gerry Cornelius.
