Cavalleria Rusticana

See Performance Schedule Below

Cavalleria Rusticana was the first opera

composed by Mascagni (although Pinotta,

staged for the first time in 1932, was written

prior, as part of Guglielmo Ratcliff in 1895)

and is certainly the best known among the

sixteen written by the composer from Livorno

(besides Cavalleria Rusticana only Iris and L’amico Fritz have remained in the repertoire of major opera companies). Its success was enormous from the first time it was staged at the Teatro Costanzi in Rome, May 17, 1890, and continues to this day.
