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 English surtitles.
