Rustic Chivalry

Approved

The fact that a German conductor who lives in Paris is performing a Sicilian opera is worth a brief cultural and historical survey. Mascagni's “Cavalleria Rusticana” marks the beginning of the veristic opera, which is not afraid to raise the curtain for farmers, prostitutes and petty bourgeoisie, for small wine merchants who live from one intoxication to the next. So much for the theory, which from a Parisian perspective one immediately contradicts with reference to "Carmen". In general, the “Cavalleria” is full of piquant French harmonies, which in turn translated Wagner's “Tristan” boldness into their own idiom. An irresistible mixture: no opera was more successful in its time. And today? What else appears under Hengelbrock's X-ray vision? We look forward to it!
