Details

Cavalleria rusticana is the bitter tale of the rivalry between two women for the love of one man. Pagliacci's story-within-a-story makes for an intense theatrical experience and boasts one of the great tenor roles in Italian opera in the vengeful husband Canio. Sung in Italian with surtitles in English (and Welsh in Cardiff)
