CAVALLERIA RUSTICANA / PAGLIACCI Mascagni / Leoncavallo - La Monnaie De ...

Mixing stories of love and jealousy, Cavalleria rusticana and Pagliacci are two operas representative of Italian verismo. Together, they are one of the most popular double-headers in opera. This excellent production from La Monnaie / De Munt directed by Damiano Michieletto and conducted by Evelino Pido highlights the fundamental links between both operas.
