Audience Score

2 hr 41 minMusic
As comparably short operas Cavalleria Rusticana and Pagliacci are often billed together but seldom is the lead tenor making his double role debut as Turiddu and Canio on the same evening At the 2015 Salzburg Easter Festival Jonas Kaufmann did just that to rapturous praise Universally hailed as a coup for Kaufmann the plaudits were also showered on Philipp Stölzl for his innovative staging which includes live video projections while referencing the era of blackandwhite movies
