The Met: Live in HD 2014 2015 Cavalleria Rusticana, Pagliacci Trailer

Operas most enduring tragic double bill returns in an evocative new production from Sir David McVicar, who sets the Verismo action across two time periods but in the same Sicilian setting. Marcelo Álvarez rises to the challenge of playing the dual tenor roles of Turiddu in Cavalleria Rusticana and Canio in Pagliacci. EvaMaria Westbroek (Cav) and Patricia Racette (Pag) play the unlucky heroines. Met Principal Conductor Fabio Luisi is on the podium.
