“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.
