Pagliacci in Full Score by Ruggiero Leoncavallo One of the most enduringly popular of all operas, Pagliacci begins as a farce but ends in a brutal tragedy. Reprinted from the authoritative 1892 edition published by E. Sonzogno of Milan.
Don Carlos in Full Score by Giuseppe Verdi Based on Schiller's tragedy about intrigue at the court of Philip II, Don Carlos ranks among Verdi's most complex and challenging works. This modestly priced version is reproduced from the authoritative G. Ricordi edition.
Product Description:
Mascagni's first produced opera (1890), and ultimately his most successful, Cavalleria Rusticana is a tempestuous drama of adultery and revenge set in a remote Italian village. Its earthy passions, bold confrontational scenes and richly melodic score set a fashion for so-called verismo opera that would endure for more than a decade. It is still a great repertoire favorite, almost always double-billed with Ruggiero Leoncavallo's Pagliacci (also available in a Dover edition.) Reprinted from the authoritative edition issued by the German publishers Bote & Bock.
