Cavalleria Rusticana / Pagliacci

In the first film of the festival, Arizona Opera is excited to present the 1982 film version of the hit one-act opera duo, Cavalleria Rusticana and Pagliacci. This version, directed by Franco Zeffirelli, features a star-studded cast including Plácido Domingo, Teresa Stratas, Juan Pons, and the Teatro alla Scala Orchestra. Both operas take place in small Italian villages and include passionate love affairs with dramatic endings.
