The Chofu Citizens’ Opera’s 29th production is a lavish double bill featuring two masterpieces of Italian opera. The program features Mascagni’s *Cavalleria Rusticana*, which depicts a tragedy triggered by village customs on Easter Sunday, and Leoncavallo’s *Pagliacci*, which explores the themes of madness and jealousy within a troupe of traveling performers. Directed by Naoshi Oshima, this ambitious production reexamines the boundary between “the real and the virtual” in modern society. Toshio Murakami will conduct, accompanied by the NEXT Orchestra, the Chofu Citizens’ Opera Chorus, and the Fuchu Boys’ and Girls’ Chorus. Please take your time to fully savor this drama, in which fundamental human emotions swirl, accompanied by exquisite music. We invite you to experience this profound story—which asks what true reality really is—firsthand at the venue.
