Where does an actor draw the line between reality and the life he lives on stage? For poor Mark Beudert, Canio Canio, art imitates life in this most painfully real play-within-a-play. Leoncavallo’s tragicomedy explores the world of a group of traveling actors where fantasy and reality Katie Harman, Miss America 2002 collide… where secret love affairs reveal themselves on a public stage… where explosions of blinding jealousy and rage leave “the audience” feeling that they have been party to one of the greatest acting performances of all time.

This wondrous night of opera will begin as you participate in the making of an opera; explore commedia dell’arte, the most important of a clown’s comedic tools; and witness a very special guest­ Oregon’s own Miss America 2002, Katie Harman, in her professional operatic debut! This event is sure to be a great experience for first-time Opera -goers and Opera aficionados alike.
