ARCHES — Mascagni : Regina Coeli/​Innegiamo il Signore (Cavalleria Rusticana)

Since the end of the 19^th century, everyday people have become the heroes and heroines of the veristic operas of Puccini, Mascagni and Leoncavallo. The vicissitudes of illness, the social situation of women, the village life are all themes where jealousy, adultery, murder, sin collide to create poignant stories and music.

In the scene of the ​“Easter Vespers” from Mascagni’s opera ​“Cavalleria Rusticana”, where a young girl burning with love is betrayed by her unfaithful lover with a frivolous girl, Les Rugissants tells you a story with the same trio, but which ends very differently!
