Franco Zeffirelli: Cavalleria Rusticana
Дзеффирелли: Сельская честь
Based on a drama by Giovanni Verga, "Cavalleria Rusticana" relates the lives and passions of simple Sicilian peasants. It was the first opera of the "verismo", or realist, school. Turiddu has long been one of Placido Domingo's finest roles, infused with passion and musical intensity. Franco Zeffirelli has masterminded a brilliantly naturalistic filming of this opera, shooting it on location in a small Sicilian town. The Russian mezzo-soprano Elena Obraztsova is a moving Santuzza, totally convincing in her passionate dejection.
