Cavalleria Rusticana & Pagliacci -
Mascagni & Leoncavallo
Teatro Real, Madrid

Love and betrayal reigns in these often-paired favourites from the romantic period of opera. Giancarlo del Monaco’s acclaimed new production in Madrid elegantly intertwines Mascagni’s and Leoncavallo’s well-loved masterpieces bringing new levels of realism into opera through their so-called verismo style. Jesús López Cobos directs a double cast of sublime talent featuring Violeta Urmana, Vincenzo La Scola, Vladimir Galouzine and María Bayo.

“Thrilling. Had me sitting on the edge of my chair. Electrifying singing and acting. Worth every opera-lover’s attention.” - Göran Forsling, MusicWeb International
“Urmana is in fantastic voice! Highly recommended!” – Hugo Shirley, MusicalCriticism.com
