The Valentine Theatre

Seduction, abandonment, and a duel to the death Sicilian style. Tempestuous passions, smoldering jealousies, and sweeping melodies in a swift-moving drama that tells the story of the peasant girl Santuzza who, deserted by her suitor, finds vengeance at the hands of a betrayed husband.

Join us for an audience reception following the performance. Food, entertainment and good cheer.
