Cavalleria rusticana & Pagliacci Mascagni
CAVALLERIA RUSTICANA
Love, betrayal and revenge all play out in a quiet village in a rural corner of Italy. Emotions run high as fidelity is tested and hearts broken in this tale that will resonate with you for the powerfrul raw depictions of everday life, in all its heartbreaking and beautiful complexities.
In a cast that showcases the world class talent of Western Australian artists, Cavalleria Rusticana will be paired with Pagliaci, often referred to as ‘Cav & Pag’. This classic one act pairing has often been celebrated as the birth of verismo, a style of music drama, depicting the crude passions of everyday people rather than the exploits of kings, queens and gods.
Leoncavallo
PAGLIACCI
A travelling troupe stage a comedy about a betrayed husband and his beautiful, flirtatious wife. But life runs very close to art in this tale of love, lust and heartbreak, when acting suddenly become a very dangerous game…
In a classic pairing of the two operas Cavalleria rusticana and Pagliacci, these stories and the music that surrounds them have become some of the most loved in the world of opera. Caruso’s recording of the famous aria “Vesti la giubba” was the first single record to sell over a million copies.
Featuring a cast that showcases Western Australian artists, this opera will remind you of the trials of the heart, that transcend age, time, and place.
COVID-19 safety measures will be in place at this performance.
