These two are often performed together. Here in English!
20 Sep 2005
Format:Audio CD
These two melodramas are examples of the "verismo" opera. That is, instead of classical heroes or mythical Gods or fantastical worlds, we are supposed to see real people on the stage in more or less real life situations. However, you have to remember this was a more than a century ago in a world and culture that saw itself much differently than we view ourselves.
The first, "Cavalleria Rusticana" (Country Manners) was a sensation when it was first performed and swept the world's opera houses like a wild fire. The music is lush, the choruses beautiful, and the story sensational for the times. Turiddu is off with Lola, the wife of Alfio. Turiddu had pledged to remain faithful to Lola when he had gone off to war, but Lola was married when he returned. In spite, Turiddu turned to Santuzza and despoiled her. Santuzza is actually smitten with Turiddu. This and that happen and Alfio challenges Turiddu to a duel to the death. Before he goes to the duel Turiddu pleads with his mama Lucia to take care of Santuzza if he should die. Talk about milking it!
Well, Ruggero Leoncavallo was a young composer and when he heard "Cavalleria Rusticana", he was inspired to write "Pagliacci (the Touring Company)". It is the story of a play within a play. Nedda, who is Cannio's wife, is not really capable of remaining faithful to him. Cannio is jealous in real life and the character of the clown he plays on stage is also a cuckold. Nedda also plays the unfaithful Columbina on stage. Cannio is heartbroken when he is preparing for the stage and sings this opera's immortal aria (track 14). On stage his real jealousy is enflamed by the role he plays and tragedy ensues. The audience thinks it is simply watching the play.
Both of these operas were very popular in their day and remain audience favorites. They are often performed together because each is just over an hour long. They ended up being the one big hit each composer had even though they wrote many other works. Leoncavallo has a couple of other works that are still performed in Italy. Mascagni's reputation is still trying to recover from the bad judgment he had in working with the fascists during World War II, but after a festival was held honoring his memory on what would have been his 100th birthday, much was forgiven and there were performances of his other music as well as this opera.
These disks provide these operas in English. It is a good thing, I think, since English speakers tend not to be as multi-lingual as Continental Europeans. However, most performances you will hear in an opera hall will likely be in the original language with supertitles. I like this solution because the English underlay of the music is tricky and making the English idiomatic is tough while still remaining faithful to the original.
Good set to have.
