Step into a Sicilian village ablaze with passion, betrayal, and heartbreak in Mascagni’s Cavalleria Rusticana. This powerful opera tells a story of love, jealousy, and revenge, where a young bride, a returning lover, and a scorned villager collide in a tale of intense emotion, unforgettable arias, and dramatic confrontations.
It’s a story that has captivated audiences for over a century with its fiery music and raw, human drama.
Experience this fully staged mainstage production with a small chamber orchestra at the Mandami Opera Centre. Generously supported by the City of Calgary, Calgary Arts Development, Alberta Foundation for the Arts, Renert School, Steinway Piano Gallery Calgary & Voice by Kathleen.
