“Cavalleria Rusticana” tells a story of love, betrayal, and deadly jealousy in a Sicilian village – and of Santuzza and Turiddu, who dies in a duel after his affair with the married Lola is revealed.
In “Pagliacci”, fiction turns into reality, as the actor Canio, right in the middle of a performance, murders his wife Nedda and her lover Silvio in a jealous rage.
With cinematic precision, the vivid visual language of Jean-Pierre Ponnelle’s staging sets the action in the dense atmosphere of the 1930s.
