Pagliacci

The Girl of

the Golden West

Everyone loves a good spaghetti Western, and Puccini’s has it all: a handsome outlaw in disguise, the sheriff in hot pursuit, and a garter-snapping, pistol-packing, poker-playing heroine who’s bound to save the man she loves!  More.

APRIL 12 & 14, 2012   |   ANDREW JACKSON HALL, TPAC
