The 2020 Arena di Verona Opera Festival

Cavalleria Rusticana-Pagliacci

2 operas in one show by Pietro Mascagni and Ruggero Leoncavallo-Modern yet Timeless!

At the Arena, Verona’s historic opera venue!

Pietro Mascagni’s Cavalleria rusticana (Rustic Chivalry) and Ruggero Leoncavallo’s Pagliacci (The Players) are becoming Italian opera’s most famous double act, but they were written independently. Cavalleria rusticana came first, its hugely successful premiere in 1890 doubtless an influence on Leoncavallo. His Pagliacci in 1892 was another triumph. The two works, each undeniable masterpieces of the verismo tradition of realism, share dramatic concision, melodic richness and an obsession with violent jealousy.
