Come spend an afternoon at the opera when the International Opera Institute (IOI) presents Pietro Mascagni's opera "Cavalleria Rusticana" featuring artists from the Metropolitan Opera NYC.
Highly emotional right from the first note, “Cavalleria Rusticana” is a popular and luscious one act opera with sweeping melodies. A dark and gritty tale of love and revenge in Sicily. Not only did Mascagni's opera win the top prize at a competition for young Italian composers but it also became an international smash from the moment of its premiere in Rome on May 17, 1890.
The International Opera Institute was founded in 2010. It is committed to increasing awareness, appreciation and understanding of opera as a classical art form in all segments of society within California, Nevada, and beyond.
Free and open to the public. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis and may be limited.

Originally opening in 1966 as a three-room library within the Airport Annex building, the Clark County Library moved in 1967 to a storefront. In 1971, the library moved again to its current location using deeded land from the County and with money awarded by the Max C. Fleishman Foundation. The building went on to have two remodels: one completed in 1986, and the second completed in 1994, which resulted in the three-story, 120,000-square-foot building it is today. This redesign notably included a 399-seat theater and an 80-seat black box theater/dance studio. The Library District also added the Best Buy Teen Tech Center, which provides a place for teens to explore and master new technologies and digital skills.
