Idea, concept and production OPERA BERGEN Cavalleria Rusticana by Pietro Mascagni has been a popular opera ever since its premiere in Rome in 1890, and has a large following among opera lovers the world over. This is true in Bergen too. The award-winning work tells a story that plays out with temperament and dramatic build-up, and this gives the music powerful choruses, earthy melodies and gripping solo parts. The grand “Intermezzo” is worth the performance alone, and in addition you get the mighty Easter chorus. The story is universal and still highly relevant, and this time you can experience the opera in a raw, true-to-life setting in Maskinhallen at Laksevåg. Opera Bergen’s earlier stagings of Cavelleria Rusticana have received warm reviews: “a trembling musical power and a will to create something fundamental from the stage that was noticeably present”. The power, the will and the ability are constantly renewed by changing times, and the story is told with the complexity, challenges and possibilities of our own time as its interpretive frame.
