“Cavalleria rusticana” is one of the most famous works of verismo (from the Italian word vero - true, truthful), an artistic trend in Italian literature, music and art of the late 19th century. The dramatic depth and expression determined the fate of the opera, which made Mascagni famous worldwide. 

The libretto is based on a short story about passion, jealousy, revenge, betrayal and repentance. A swift avalanche of events, a premonition of a catastrophe and an interruption of action at a bloody denouement - an electrified story unfolds in one day. Bright, catchy melodies, ensemble scenes full of sharp drama and at the same time a compact format convenient for listeners, in which there is no place for long arias and duets.

The artistic director of the theatre Yuri Alexandrov dreamed about this work for a long time: a bright material that requires a great energy surge from young performers. “Cavalleria rusticana” is about a false understanding of the feeling of freedom. A person thinks that he can easily forget about his obligations to his family, spouse, and child. As a result, freedom does not bring anything, but only destroys... Today, young people quickly marry, quickly break up, and there are many problems with the main treasure of life - the family ...”, - says Yuri Alexandrov.

The performance was awarded the “Golden Sofit”, the highest theatre prize of St. Petersburg.

English

«Сельская честь» – одно из наиболее известных произведений веризма (от итальянского слова vero – истинный, правдивый), художественного направления в итальянской литературе, музыке и изобразительном искусстве конца XIX века. Драматическая глубина и экспрессия определили жизненную судьбу оперы, принесшей Масканьи мировую известность.  
В основе либретто – новелла о всепоглощающей страсти, ревности, мести, предательстве и раскаянии. Стремительная лавина событий, предчувствие катастрофы и обрыв действия на кровавой развязке – наэлектризованная напряжением история разворачивается в течение одного дня. Яркие запоминающиеся мелодии, полные острого драматизма ансамблевые сцены и при этом удобный для слушателей компактный формат, в котором нет места для длинных арий и дуэтов.

Об этой работе художественный руководитель театра Юрий Александров мечтал давно: яркий материал, требующий большого энергетического всплеска от молодых исполнителей. «В этой опере речь идет о ложном понимании чувства свободы. Человек думает, что может легко забыть о своих обязательствах перед семьей, супругой, ребенком. А в итоге эта свобода ничего не приносит, а только разрушает... Сегодня молодежь быстро сходится, быстро расстается, и появляется много проблем с главным сокровищем жизни – с семьей…», - рассказывает Юрий Александров.

Спектакль удостоен Высшей театральной премии Санкт-Петербурга «Золотой софит».
