Passion, clowns, vengeance! Ruggero Leoncavallo's fantastic verismo tale of love, jealousy, mental health and revenge. Joyful, sublime music and street performance provide a colourful foil for the ultimate tragedy.

Shakespeare said “All the world is a stage, and all the men and women merely players”.
 
A travelling band of performers arrive in an Italian village to provide the evening’s entertainment – but below this surface of joy, colour and art lurks the fragile ecosystem of the performing artists.  This piece explores so brilliantly the lives, egos and trials of the “back stage” world and how closely these can influence the “on stage” world that the audience will see. 
 
In Natascha Metherell’s take on Pagliacci our audience are the villagers come to see a performance, our singers are the singers come to perform and the performance they perform is about performers performing! 
 
Pagliacci at its heart is a piece about loneliness, mental health, love, jealousy and revenge – behind the joyful performers that arrive to entertain their audience we find broken and haunted people on the very brink of crisis.  We as an audience watch the double layer – a play within a play – in Act I we meet the performers as they drum up an audience for the evenings show and in Act II we watch the comedy and see how their private torture threatens to infiltrate the drama.
 
Pagliacci is produced by Søholm Opera

English

Passion, gøglere, hævn! Ruggero Leoncavallos fantastiske verismo-opera om kærlighed, jalousi, sindsforstyrrelser og hævn pakket ind i gøgl og farver og fortalt gennem den skønneste musik.
Shakespeare skrev: “All the world is a stage, and all the men and women merely players”

 

En omrejsende teatertrup ankommer til en landsby for at optræde og underholde, men under overfladen af glæde, farver og gøgl, lurer aktørernes skrøbelige økosystem. Pagliacci udforsker livet, egoerne og prøvelserne i de optrædendes ‘backstage’ verden og viser, hvor let disse kan påvirke den ‘on stage’ verden, publikum er vidne til.

 

I Natascha Metherells udgave af Pagliacci er publikum landsbyborgerne, der kommer for at se en forestilling; sangerne de kunstnere, der kommer for at optræde, og den forestilling de opfører omhandler kunstnere, der optræder!

 

Pagliacci er en fortælling om ensomhed, mentale forstyrrelser, kærlighed, jalousi og hævn Bag de glade kunstnere, der ankommer for at underholde deres publikum, finder vi knuste og plagede mennesker på randen af sammenbrud. Publikum ser det dobbelte lag - en forestilling i forestillingen - og møder i 1. akt truppen, når de forsøger at samle et publikum til aftenens show, og i 2. akt komedien, hvor aktørernes private krise og drama truer med at infiltrere deres forestilling.
