Two opera classics a redrawn together in this wonderfully observed re-creation of life in a south Italian village as a travelling theatre visits and emotions erupt.

The award-winningproductionby Damiano Michieletto presents vividly the fast-moving, shocking events broughtabout by secret love and uncontrollable jealousy. The music is full of Italianate melody in the great choruses that bring thevillagers together in celebration and revelry, alongside the solo arias and tense confrontations that provoke violence and tragedy.

With thrilling singing and intense drama, ‘Cav and Pag’ distils into one wonderful night out, the enduring appeal of Italian opera in its most familiar form.
