Cavalleria rusticana in Barcelona

Amounting virtually to twin artistic manifestos, they become, in Michieletto's version, the two sides of the same coin, with characters from Cavalleria rusticana appearing in Pagliacci and vice-versa. The topics of the two operas, both set in 1950s Italy, also intertwine in the visual resources used. A veritable "slice of life", to quote from the sung prologue to Pagliacci.

Teodor Iincai si Turridu in Cavalleria rusticana, alongside Oksana Dyka (Santuzza), Ángel Ódena (Alfio) and Elena Zilio (Mamma Lucia) at Gran Teatre del Liceu, Barcelona, on December 7,10,12,15,19 and 21.
