Greek National Opera

Cavalleria Rusticana – Pagliacci


The Greek National Opera has opted to perform two operas at this year’s Athens Festival which epitomize Verismo, with all the love, hate and insane jealousy that comes with it. A popular operatic pairing, performed by big names from the Greek and international opera scene, the works offer sublime melodies, powerful plots, violent passions and intense emotions.
 
In Cavalleria Rusticana (1890), a tranquillity of an Easter morning is shattered by a betrayed lover whose actions will end in tragedy. In Pagliacci (1892), though Canio adheres to the theatrical tradition that the show must go on, his desperation and humiliation lead him to a macabre end.
