Cavalleria Rusticana & Pagliacci 《鄉村騎士及丑角》 (Dominique Chan 陳皓琬篇) | Opera Hong Kong 香港歌劇院

Cavalleria Rusticana is set on an Easter morning in Sicily. Santuzza is anxiously looking for her lover Turridu, who she thinks has cheated and returned to his former fiancée, Lola who married the wine merchant Alfio when Turiddu was called to war. Santuzza tries in vain to win him back. Now an outcast, and mad with jealousy, she tells Alfio, the cuckolded husband, about Lola. Alfio challenges Turiddu to a fight. Before leaving for fatal duel, Turiddu says goodbye to his mother.

Pagliacci is based on a real murder case of the late-19th century. Canio heads a travelling acting troupe. Canio’s wife Nedda is secretly having an affair with Silvo, a young man in the town where they are stopped. Fearing Canio’s anger, Nedda attempts to break it off but Silvio persuades her to run off with him after the performance. Tonio, one of the troupe’s actors, also desires Nedda, but she pushes him away. In revenge, Tonio tells Canio of Nedda’s affair. During the performance, Canio loses character and confronts Nedda, pulling a knife: art and life become one.

《鄉村騎士》發生在一個復活節早上，桑圖扎發現未婚夫圖里杜跟已婚的前未婚妻羅拉暗中來往，而羅拉已經下嫁亞非奧。桑圖扎誓要奪回愛人，她不惜向亞非奧告發二人戀情。惱羞成怒的亞非奧決定要跟圖里杜來一場決鬥。圖里杜與母親告別後便踏上不歸路。

《丑角》是根據一宗十九世紀末意大利發生的謀殺案改編而成。主角卡尼奧為戲班班主，妻子妮達背著丈夫與年輕的西爾維奧偷情。生怕東窗事發，妮達欲與西爾維奧斷交。同時戲班小丑東尼奧亦傾慕妮達並向她表白，可惜遭拒絕。東尼奧一心報復妮達，便轉向卡尼奧告發妮達偷情之事。怒火中燒的卡尼奧於台上表演時追問妮達並於眾目睽睽下手刃妻子。台上上演了一場戯中戲，台下觀衆又可否洞悉其中？
