"A tragedy of love and unfaithfulness among peasants in a small Sicilian town."
"Recorded 1992 at La Scala, Milan, the ICET film studio, and on location at Vizzini, Sicily."
""In Pagliacci, A traveling troupe of entertainers, Canio, his wife Nedda, Peppe and Tonio, arrive in the village for an evening performance. Nedda and her lover, Silvio a young lad from the village, plan to leave together that night. Tonio overhears the plot and tells Canio"."
"The Zefferilli film versions of the two operas about passion, jealousy, betrayal, and revenge."
""In Cavalleria rusticana, Santuzza, pregnant by Turiddu, is distraught when she finds he has deserted her in favor of the attractive young Lola"."
"These inseparable operas deal with passion, jealousy and murderous revenge in close-knit Italian communities."
"Mascagni's tragic opera about rustic chivalry."
"Giancarlo del Monaco's new production elegantly intertwines Mascangi's and Leoncavallo's well-loved operas, masterpieces which brought new levels of realism into operas through their so-called verismo style."
"This video captures a real rarity: one of the very few times the brilliant Plácido Domingo performed both of the great tenors roles during the same evening at the Met. Domingo singing either Turiddu (in Cavalleria) or Canio (in Pagliacci) would be remarkable, but to get both in the same incandescent performance is to see history. With James Levine's passionate conducting, Franco Zeffirelli's iconic production, and the sensational singing actors Tatiana Troyanos (Santuzza), Teresa Stratas (Nedda), and Sherrill Milnes (Tonio), these searing one-act operas blaze."
"Voici de retour en DVD les deux somptueux films de Franco Zeffirelli sur les oeuvres les plus célèbres de l'opéra vériste. Les deux distributions et la direction de Georges Prêtre atteignent des sommets de musicalité et d'expressivité. Placido Domingo, dans les rôles de Turiddu et de Canio est impressionnant de maîtrise vocale, d'expressivité et de talent dramatique. Ses partenaires (notamment Teresa Stratas en Nedda) sont à la hauteur du défi artistique...incontournable."
"Performance of an opera of love and unfaithfulness among peasants by Pietro Mascagni."
"Revenant du service militaire, Torrido apprend le mariage de Lola, qu'il aimait. Il se fiance alors avec Santuzza ; mais Lola, jalouse, le reconquiert. Pour se venger d'un tel abandon, Santuzza révèle au mari de sa rivale l'infortune qui l'accable. Les deux hommes s'affrontent dans un duel qui se termine par la mort de Torrido. Santuzza s'écroule, désespérée."
"In Cavalleria rusticana, Santuzza, pregnant by Turiddu, is distraught when she finds he has deserted her in favour of the attractive young Lola. A melodrama in one act. Film is presented probably with a commentary."
"Performance of the one-act opera by Pietro Mascagni."
"Presents one of the century's greatest conductors, Herbert von Karajan as he conducts two of the most popular operas in the Italian repertoire : Cavalleria Rusticana and Pagliacci."
