Conductor Marco Armiliato leads this immortal double-bill of one-act operas that teem with love, jealousy, despair, and murder. Eva-Maria Westbroek is Santuzza in Cavalleria—pregnant and abandoned by the handsome and popular Turiddu (Brian Jagde). But their illicit dalliance is discovered by Santuzza’s husband, Alfio (Ambrogio Maestri), who challenges Turiddu to a duel, and kills him. Roberto Alagna is Canio, the iconic clown in Pagliacci who must entertain the audience while his heart is breaking. Aleksandra Kurzak sings Nedda, his unfaithful young wife whose plans to run away with her lover are foiled by her spurned admirer Tonio (Ambrogio Maestri)—with tragic consequences.
