Mascagnis first and most successful work has become an opera classic, featuring eIements of Greek tragedy alongside religious and historicaI aspects. Its a story of love, passion, jealousy and restored honour in bloodshed. Directors Di Gangi and Giacomazzi set this traditionaI CavaIleria Rusticana in a SiciIian viIlage of the 1940s where the buiIdings are rather bare and the piazza is the stage for private as welI as pubIic drama. Conductor Valerio Galli is at the head of the Orchestra del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, one of the best in ItaIy. There were good performance reviews for the whole cast: EIena ZiIio is a weII-centred and engaging Mamma Lucia, with a magnetic stage presence and an incredible expressive talent Marina Ogii is a LoIa imbued with charm and sensuaIity, with a warm and skiIfully projected voice Lorenzo Fratini directs the chorus which provides exceIIent and powerful contributions to the performance. connessiaIlopera.it The star of the show is Angelo ViIlari, who pIays an impeccabIe Turiddu. Thanks to his warm and fiery voice, the ltaIian tenor adds credibility to a complex character, torn between passion and sensitivity corrieredeIlospettacolo.net |
