For years now, the OPERA has followed the tradition of performing the only masterpiece that specifically takes place at the holiday. The central figure of this story, set in a Sicilian village on Easter Sunday, is Santuzza (meaning “little saint” in Italian), who is left by her lover for a married woman. With Cavalleria rusticana, whose protagonists are everyday people who fall victim to their own, unbridled passions, Mascagni created one of the most important pieces of verismo that made its composer famous and recognised at once following its 1890 premiere. Beside the concert version of the opera, the programme also features a beautiful early work by the same composer: Messa di Gloria is abundant in ideas and a true piece of romantic music exalting the resurrection.
Composer: Pietro Mascagni
Librettist: Giovanni Targioni-Tozzetti
Librettist: Guido Menasci
Our offer
Pairing the two German composers, Wagner and the Wagnerian Strauss in a single evening creates a sweeping and overwhelming fusion of expansive melodies and driving dramatic force. The encounter between Wagner’s mythical intensity and Strauss’s modernism is a dialogue between two musical giants who reshaped not only German but also international musical life. In the performance of the OPERA Orchestra, their compositions promise deep emotions, dense musical textures, and sonic grandeur.

A century ago, the world first encountered this remarkable opus, a work that soon became one of the cornerstones of twentieth-century musical innovation. Premiered in 1926, the singspiel is a milestone in Hungarian music history: its composer, Zoltán Kodály, fulfilled his aspiration to elevate Hungarian folk song of ancient origin to the same status as classical music, by virtue of its equivalent values, placing it on the stage of the nation’s Opera House.
