The veristic double titles Peasant Honor (1890) and Comedians (1892) belong to the golden fund of the World Opera. Both works represent representatives of the opera, which engulfed the world at the end of the 19th century thanks to the faithful depiction of human emotions, passions, instincts, jealousy and fear. History has shown that the extraordinary musical and philosophical content of these works still appeals to the audience with its vitality, thematic topicality and captivating music. Despite predictions about the short-term fashion of the works, today's veristic works are among the most visited across large and small opera scenes. It is not for nothing, because in addition to the music that draws the listener into their emotions, stories unfold before the eyes of the viewer, which can be the life of any of us: Although the young and beautiful Lola is married, she does not intend to give up her ex-boyfriend. This love affair makes the main actors happy and unhappy at the same time. Tradition and destiny come into play - according to an ancient custom, Turrida must pay for her love with her own blood. A story based on real events helped Pietro Mascagni to compose the opera The peasant honor , which was a colossal success right after the premiere. Ruggero Leoncavallo experienced the same enthusiasm two years later with the premiere of his two-act Comedians . Her story is in many ways similar to Peasant's honor : the essence is the tragedy of an aging actor who takes bloodily revenge on his young unfaithful wife and sok. The model of the libretto was again a real criminal case, which was decided by his father as a judge. first time in one evening Peasant Honor and Comedian Metropolitan Opera in New York in 1893 were performed for the For the fourth time in its history, the State Opera continues this tradition.
