If I had to recommend one opera for a first timer it would be Pagliacci. There is a magic to this opera unlike any other that I have seen. It is a good first timer length and the story moves quickly without getting bogged down.Pros: Wonderful plot and story. Amazing character studies and songs. Vocally all parts are powerful and you are not missing anything within the performance. Plus my performance included a circus scene in between the two acts which was amazing and very fitting given the nature of the story.
Cons: It was over so soon and it comes back so infrequently. I would see this one each and every year if given the opportunity. LOVED IT!
Must See Rating: ***** (I wish I had 6 stars on my chart for this one!)
