Lakeland Symphony Orchestra presents Night at the Opera: Cavalleria Rusticana

January 21 at 7:00pm – With Maestro Robert Moody, Sung in Italian with English supertitles

Mascagni’s masterpiece, Cavalleria Rusticana (“rustic chivalry”) takes place on Easter morning as Turiddu sings of his love for Lola. Turiddu was once engaged to Lola and has returned from military service to find that she has married another. Heartbroken, Turiddu seduces Santuzza which inspires jealousy in Lola who begins an adulterous affair with Turiddu.

Naturally, Lola’s husband cannot stand for such betrayal, and the Easter celebrations of the villagers are interrupted by arguments, violence and confusion.
