Nov 12, 2026
RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — A classic Italian drama and theatre story is taking center stage at the Dominion Energy Center this week.
8News anchors Delaney Hall and Madison Moore spoke with Adam Turner, artistic director and chief conductor, and singer Sarah Tucker, who stars as Nedda, about "Pagliac
ci."
"It's an iconic Italian opera that's full of high-octane drama," Turner said. "It's a roller coaster ride of emotions — betrayal, revenge, love, lust — all the things you can imagine."
