12:00 pm Sacred Music Concert and Cavalleria Rusticana (LINK)
Come take an imaginary Easter Sunday trip to Sicily for a concert of sacred music gems and a gut-wrenching drama. First, inside the magnificent Cathedral of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, enjoy treasures by Verdi, Rossini, and Mascagni. Then, become part of the thrilling Cavalleria Rusticana as a Sicilian villager seated outside the majestic church. You’ll be in the middle of the action and witness how passionate “rustic chivalry” exacts revenge on those who betray others. The opera that lit up the Godfather III finale will unfold before your eyes!
