Opera production. USA 2014, 210 min. Directed by David McVicar. Music by Pietro Mascagni, Ruggero Leoncavallo. Conducted by Fabio Luisi. Starring: Marcelo Alvarez, Rae Smith, Eva-Maria Westbroek, Patricia Racette. In Italian with Russian subtitles. Opera's most enduring tragic double bill returns in an evocative new production from Sir David McVicar, who sets the action across two time periods but in the same Sicilian village. Marcelo Alvarez rises to the challenge of playing the dual tenor roles of Turiddu in Cavalleria Rusticana and Canio in Pagliacci. Rae Smith (War Horse) has designed the moodily atmospheric 1900 village square setting of Cavalleria, which transforms to a 1948 truck stop for the doomed vaudeville troupe of Pagliacci. Eva-Maria Westbroek (Cav) and Patricia Racette (Pag) sing the unlucky heroines, and Met Principal Conductor Fabio Luisi is on the podium. More info Luxor Center |
