Loewenstein, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Zanetto; and Cavalleria Rusticana" by Pietro Mascagni features librettos by G. Targioni-Tozzetti and G. Menasci, with English translations by Willard G. Day. This book is a collection of operatic works written during the late 19th century, specifically in the context of Italian opera. The primary topics revolve around themes of love and tragedy, addressing the complexities of human emotions in relationships. The first opera "Zanetto" tells the story of a beautiful but disillusioned hotelier named Silvia, who, after repelling advances from wealthy suitors, falls for a wandering minstrel named Zanetto. Silvia conceals her identity as she offers him advice, leading to an emotional climax where they express mutual affection. In "Cavalleria Rusticana," we follow the tragic tale of Turiddu, a soldier returning from service only to find his former love, Lola, has married another man. The emotional turmoil escalates into jealousy and betrayal, culminating in a duel that ultimately ends in tragedy for Turiddu. Both operas explore the nuances of love, sacrifice, and the dire consequences of human desires. (This is an automatically generated summary.) Reading ease score: 77.9 (7th grade).
