“Pagliacci” production with Julian Oliver, Wilshire Ebell Theatre, Los Angeles, 1951

Description:

The performers are surrounded by trees, suggesting an outdoor, country landscape. To the right stands a secondary stage resembling a Greek temple with comedy and tragedy masks painted on the pediment. The stage’s interior is obscured by curtains. Beyond the stage, musicians can be viewed from the orchestra pit at foreground. Opera performed at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre, Los Angeles.
