Love and passion, jealousy, betrayal and … vendetta. One of the first examples of musical verismo, the most successful opera of the Italian composer Pietro Mascagni, “Cavalleria rusticana”, has become one of the symbols of Italian culture at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries.
Easter in a picturesque Sicilian village. Nothing portends trouble. The main character Santuzza, abandoned by her lover Turiddu and blinded by jealousy, tries to win him back by any means, but her actions result in his death.
The drama of the characters is presented with the profoundly emotional and wonderful music of Pietro Mascagni and makes the audience sympathize with each character.
Performed in the Italian language with Ukrainian subtitles
