Powerful 'I Pagliacci' a fitting opener

Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: "The short but powerful opera 'I Pagliacci' provided a winning start to Pittsburgh Opera's season Saturday night at the Benedum Center. Strong singing, dynamic conducting and a vibrant traditional staging of 'I Pagliacci' made a strong case that this less than 80-minute opera, usually seen as part of a double-bill, is worth encountering on its own."
