This new production, directed by Gilbert Deflo, will feature two masterpieces of verismo opera: Cavalleria Rusticana and I Pagliacci. These two high quality operas have become part of the repertoire of many opera houses worldwide. Conducting will be Renato Palumbo, who has appeared at the NNTT in previous productions. The role of Turiddu in Cavalleria Rusticana will be sung by Walter Fraccaro, an artist who has also performed in several NNTT productions over the years. The part of Santuzza will be sung by Lucrecia Garcia, making her NNTT debut. And in I Pagliacci, Canio will be sung by Gustavo Porta, also making his NNTT debut. Tonio will be sung by Vittorio Vitelli, who earned critical praise for the dignity he brought to the role of Count di Luna in the 2011 NNTT production of Il Trovatore.
