"Cavalleria Rusticana", in English Rustic Chivalry, is an opera and is a one act what has been written by Pietro Mascagni to a libretto by Giovanni Targioni-Tozzetti and Guido Menasci. The opera was adapted from a short story written by Giovanni Verga. The opera was premiered for the first time on May 17, 1890 at the Teatro Costanzi in Rome. The opera was liked by the audiences. The opera was again performed in the year 1893. During that time the opera was performed in a so-called Cav/Pag double-bill with Pagliacci by Ruggero Leoncavallo.
After that, in the year 1907, Domenico Monleone composed an opera with the same name and it was premiered in Amsterdam, but the opera couldn't be shown as Mascagni took legal action against Monleone
The cast of "Cavalleria Rusticana" consists of Santuzza, a young peasant (soprano), Turiddu, a young farmer (tenor), Lucia, his mother (alto), Alfio, a carrier (baritone) and Lola, his wife (mezzo-soprano).
The opera starts with Turiddu singing, "O Lola, lovely as the spring's bright blooms", and all the first scene takes place infront of a church. In the scene we also see some church-goers as well as some peasants. After some time Santuzza and Lucia appear from opposite sides of the stage. Here Santuzza is the lady-love of Turiddu, but she thinks that he has discarded her for Lola, since once she has seen him entering Lola's house. Alfio is the the husband of Lola, who also appears in the opera with the chorus and admits that he has also seen Turiddu, but he is not worried about him. Lucia, tries to gather more information on this matter but is made silent by Santuzza.
