Between the 10th and 20th of July, there will be 7 performances of Pagliacci by Ruggero Leoncavallo.
The production is directed by Franco Zeffirelli and four of the performances will feature Placido Domingo in the lead role of Canio.
Pop-culture references - Placido Domingo was the medium sized member of the Three Tenors (smaller than Pavarotti, bigger than Carreras) and Pagliacci is the opera featured in The Untouchables.
Why am I telling you all this?
For those within easy travelling distance of central London, the evening performance on the 16th July will be broadcast live in the Covent Garden Piazza for a grand total cost of nil pounds, considerably cheaper than seats at the Royal Opera House which cost between £50 and £160 each.
