CAVALLERIA RUSTICANA
Turiddu and Santuzza are a couple; he has promised to marry her. However, when Turiddu meets up with his old love Lola again, he hardly pays any more attention to Santuzza. She takes revenge by inciting Lola’s jealous husband Alfio against Turiddu. Alfio challenges him to a fight.

I PAGLIACCI
Canio, an actor with a travelling theatre company, has learned that his wife Nedda has a lover. When he enacts the same situation on stage with her, the play becomes deadly serious: Canio loses control and stabs Nedda repeatedly with a knife. Dying, she calls her lover for help, and he reveals himself and also runs into Canio’s knife. The piece ends with his words, “The game is over.”
