Cavalleria rusticana — это опера в одном акте Пьетро Масканьи на либретто Джованни Тарджони-Тоццетти и Гвидо Менаски, вдохновленная одноименным романом Джованни Верга. Из-за своей короткой продолжительности (около 70 минут) и музыкальных особенностей, напоминающих итальянский веризм, она часто исполняется вместе с другой оперой, Паяцы Руджеро Леонкавалло—комбинация, предложенная впервые в Метрополитен-опера в Нью-Йорке в 1893 году. Сюжет изображает историю ревности и предательства между двумя парами, живущими в Виццини, маленькой деревне на Сицилии. Климат безразличия, омертà и вопросы чести приводят Альфио и Туридду к дуэли на смерть, из которой никто не выходит победителем… В Cavalleria rusticana Масканьи демонстрирует свою способность создавать жестокий, но простой и эффективный сюжет. Усиливая эффект реализма, его музыка часто напоминает народные песни Южной Италии.

Cavalleria rusticana is Pietro Mascagni’s first opera, but it stands as one of the best works in the lyrical theater repertoire! At the time, Mascagni was just the conductor of a small theater company in Cerignola, in the south east of Italy. He began to compose Cavalleria rusticana in order to take part in a musical competition. Unfortunately, he found out about it only a few days before the registration deadline! In the space of two months thanks to a libretto by Targioni-Tozzetti—a friend and a professor of literature—he finished the entire score of Cavalleria rusticana, and its success was immediate! In particular, the symphonic interlude that takes place between the eight and the ninth scene earned it a special place in the public’s heart. This interlude inspired many other artistic works! In fact, it has been used in blockbuster films including The Godfather, Part III, but also in pop music as well as in many commercials.
