"Rustic Chivalry (Cavalleria Rusticana): Melodrama in One Act" by Pietro Mascagni et al. is a one-act opera written during the late 19th century. This dramatic work revolves around themes of love, betrayal, and vengeance set in a Sicilian village against the backdrop of an Easter celebration. It showcases the emotional turmoil of its characters as they navigate their intertwined fates in a small, rural community. The storyline follows Turiddu, a young villager who has returned from military service to find that his former love, Lola, has married Alfio, a teamster. Heartbroken, Turiddu becomes involved with Santuzza, who loves him deeply but is ultimately spurned. As tensions rise, Santuzza reveals Lola's infidelity to Alfio, inciting a tragic chain of events. The opera culminates in a confrontation between Turiddu and Alfio, leading to a deadly duel that results in Turiddu's death. The piece powerfully captures the emotional weight of love and jealousy, framed within a vivid and picturesque cultural landscape. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
