Opera Orlando presents two operas rolled into one with Hector Berlioz’s Beatrice + Benedict and Pietro Mascagni’s Cavalleria Rusticana. Watch these stories unfold simultaneously on an Easter day in the Sicilian town of Messina. Audiences first watch Berlioz’s comedy, based on Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing, play out in the town square with weddings and a happy ending for all, and then a more tragic tale is told as Mascagni’s verismo opera happens in the exact same town square.

Beatrice + Benedict / Cavalleria Rusticana by Berlioz, Mascagni, Fri 25 Apr 2025, From (2025/2025), Directed by Grant Preisser,, Conductor Pasquale Valerio, Dr Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, Orlando, United States
