The Story

Turiddu, a soldier, returns home to find his beloved Lola married to another man. He seeks revenge through seduction. As Easter bells ring and the village celebrates, forbidden passions burn in the shadows, honor demands blood, and Turiddu pays the ultimate price.

Opera Santa Barbara’s new production of Cavalleria Rusticana draws you into the rugged beauty of 19th century Sicily—the sun-baked villages and orange groves. Against this backdrop, Mascagni’s melodies soar as real people face real consequences.
