New Camerata Opera presents Cav + Pag, an operatic ‘mash-up’ of the traditional double bill of Cavalleria Rusticana and Pagliacci. This 90-minute adaptation was developed by John de los Santos, Samuel McCoy, and internationally-renowned dramaturg Cori Ellison. By seamlessly intertwining the characters, stories, and music, the audience is treated to a super-condensed look at these classic verismo operas, performed by artists from the New York area. The performance will be accompanied by a chamber orchestra and will take place at The Muse in Bushwick, Brooklyn.

New Camerata Opera will be adhering to strict guidelines as outlined by the CDC and New York State regarding COVID-19. The protocols observed include proof of vaccination for attendees and performers, masks for attendees, and social distancing.
