Bianca Cavalleria Francesco Mascagni Milan Opera Rusticana Scala 1927 Scacciati
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intensity and passion of Francesco Merli as Turiddu and Bianca Scacciati as Santuzza in a production of Mascagni's Cavalleria Rusticana at La Scala in Milan during the historic year of 1927. The image transports us back in time to the iconic Italian opera house, where the raw emotions of the characters unfolded against the backdrop of traditional Sicilian life. Cavalleria Rusticana, a one-act opera in three tableaux, premiered in 1890 and is considered one of the most popular and enduring works in the operatic repertoire. The story revolves around the complex relationships and jealousy between Turiddu, a soldier who returns to his hometown to find his former lover Santuzza waiting for him, and his current lover, Lola. The tragic consequences of their actions lead to a series of events that ultimately result in a fatal confrontation. Merli's portrayal of Turiddu exudes a magnetic charm and intensity, while Scacciati's Santuzza embodies the heartache and anger of a woman scorned. Their powerful performances are brought to life by the masterful direction and sets of La Scala's production, which perfectly captures the essence of Mascagni's music and the rich history of Italian opera. This photograph serves as a testament to the enduring power of Cavalleria Rusticana and the unforgettable performances of its cast. It offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to experience the raw emotions and intensity of this timeless work.
