Cavalleria rusticana / Pagliacci
The resumption of the opera double evening Cavalleria rusticana / Pagliacci comes up with a prominent cast: In the highly dramatic role of Santuzza, we were able to win one of the world's most sought-after opera singers in the charismatic and powerful Latvian Elīna Garanča. The internationally coveted Argentine tenor Marcelo Álvarez takes on the challenging task of interpreting both Turiddu and Canio. In addition, George Petean as Alfio / Tonio and the Russian soprano Ekaterina Bakanova as Nedda promise further singing highlights. Conductor Paolo Carignani takes care of the Italianità at the podium of the Philharmonia.

These two famous veristic short operas are about wounded honor, betrayal, jealousy and deadly hatred. Both dramas take place in the hot-blooded south of Italy, in a hermetically sealed world determined by traditional values: In Pietro Mascagni's Cavalleria rusticana , it is the narrow village where the tragedy between Santuzza, Turiddu and his lover, Lola, ignites on an Easter Sunday . With a bite in the ear, Turiddu challenges his rival Alfio to a fight, which Turiddu will not survive.

Ruggero Leoncavallos Pagliacci, on the other hand, plays in the small cosmos of a traveling circus troupe. The “Commedia” on stage finally turns into serious seriousness. Theater and reality blur: on the open stage, the clown Canio stabs his unfaithful wife and her lover.

Die Wiederaufnahme des Opern-Doppelabends Cavalleria rusticana/Pagliacci wartet mit einer prominenten Besetzung auf: In der hochdramatischen Partie der Santuzza konnten wir mit der charismatischen und stimmgewaltigen Lettin Elīna Garanča eine der gefragtesten Opernsängerinnen weltweit gewinnen. Der international begehrte argentinische Tenor Marcelo Álvarez stellt sich der herausfordernden Aufgabe, sowohl Turiddu als auch Canio zu interpretieren. Daneben versprechen George Petean als Alfio/Tonio sowie die russische Sopranistin Ekaterina Bakanova als Nedda weitere sängerische Höhepunkte. Dirigent Paolo Carignani sorgt am Pult der Philharmonia für die gebotene Italianità.

Um verletzte Ehre, Verrat, Eifersucht und tödlichen Hass geht es in diesen zwei berühmten veristischen Kurzopern. Beide Dramen spielen im heissblütigen Süden Italiens, in einer jeweils hermetisch abgeriegelten, von traditionellen Werten bestimmten Welt: In Pietro Mascagnis Cavalleria rusticana ist es die dörfliche Enge, in der sich die Tragödie zwischen Santuzza, Turiddu und dessen Geliebter, Lola, an einem Ostersonntag entzündet. Mit einem Biss ins Ohr fordert Turiddu seinen Nebenbuhler Alfio zum Kampf auf, den Turiddu nicht überleben wird.

Ruggero Leoncavallos Pagliacci wiederum spielt im kleinen Kosmos einer fahrenden Zirkustruppe. Aus der «Commedia» auf der Bühne wird schliesslich blutiger Ernst. Theater und Wirklichkeit verschwimmen: Auf offener Bühne ersticht der Clown Canio seine untreue Ehefrau und deren Geliebten.
