A cornerstone of Italian verismo ("reality") opera, Cavalleria Rusticana ("Rustic Chivalry") is composer Pietro Mascagni's first opera, and his only one still regularly performed nowadays. Traditionally, it is staged with Leoncavallo's Pagliacci back-to-back. It premiered on 17 May 1890 at the Teatro Costanzi in RomeAdapted from a 1880 short story of the same name, the story is revolves around a Sicilian village on Easter Sunday. Turiddu, a young ex-soldier, is still in love with Lola, the wife of a local carter named Alfio, so he dumps his girlfriend Santuzza and has an affair with Lola. Enraged at this turn of events, Santuzza tells Alfio about Turiddu's perfidy and Lola's infidelity. Alfio in turn swears revenge.This is the part where the Intermezzo plays, providing a momentary relief from all the drama.The title of the opera, "Rustic Chivalry", refers to the villagers' unwritten Code of Honor, which demands that the cuckolded husband take justice into his own hands. Therefore, after the Intermezzo, when Alfio encounters Turiddu, he challenges him to a knife fight. Turiddu, knowing he is in deep trouble, bids his mother farewell, asks her to care for Santuzza, and then goes offstage to be killed by Alfio.Tropes: | |
