Cavalleria Rusticana/Pagliacci

Approximate running time 3 hrs. 5 min.

Starring in either Cavalleria Rusticana or Pagliacci can be a major triumph for a tenor. Taking on both lead roles on the same night is momentous—and this season two extraordinary singers scale this verismo height. Roberto Alagna and José Cura share the run, each singing both the headstrong Turiddu and the jealous clown Canio, in this ever-popular double bill.
