Since innovation is not a crime, these two works, which are not often seen together, will be the object of a new production by director Grischa Asagaroff: Cavalleria rusticana, the founding opus of the verismo movement and Mascagni’s greatest success, will precede Gianni Schicchi, the third opera of the Trittico cycle, Puccini’s late masterpiece. Both works were written by composers who shared the same stages and a similar idea of the operatic narrative, and each of whom provided a striking contrast between the two faces of Italy. On one side, the fiery Sicily described in Verga’s short story, where passions are as intense as the sun that crushes its villages, and its inherent fatality that leads to death. On the other side, the refinement of Dante’s medieval and popular, elegant and spiritual city of Florence, where the vis comica colours each instant with infectious humour. In short, two operas theatrically inspired and filled with memorable lyrical flights. Under the direc-tion of Speranza Scappucci, the Italian conductor whose career is rising rapidly, two casts will work unfailingly to render justice to the extreme tension of Mascagni’s music and the agility of Puccini’s score.

English

Puisqu’innover n’est pas un crime, deux titres qui n’ont pas l’habitude de cohabiter feront l’objet d’une nouvelle production du metteur en scène Grischa Asagaroff : Cavalleria rusticana, opus fondateur du vérisme et plus grand succès de Mascagni, précédera Gianni Schicchi, troisième opéra du cycle Il trittico, chef-d’œuvre tardif de Puccini. Tous deux écrits par des compositeurs partageant les mêmes scènes et une idée comparable du discours lyrique, ces opéras offrent un contraste saisissant entre deux visages de l’Italie. D’un côté, la brûlante Sicile décrite dans la nouvelle de Verga, avec ses pulsions aussi intenses que le soleil qui écrase ses villages, sa fatalité intrinsèque qui mène jusqu’à la mort. De l’autre, le raffinement de la Florence médiévale et populaire de Dante, élégante et spirituelle, où la vis comica teinte chaque instant d’un humour contagieux. En somme, deux opéras théâtralement inspirés et remplis d’envolées lyriques mémorables. Deux distributions s’affaireront à rendre justice à l’extrême tension de la musique de Mascagni et à l’agilité de ton de la partition de Puccini, placées sous la direction de Speranza Scappucci, cheffe d’orchestre italienne à la carrière en plein essor.
