Verismo Study Day

16CAVALLERIAJP1-articleLargePresented by William Berger
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes per session

Part I: 11AM–12:30PM
Part II: 2–3:30PM
This two-part study day will explore the late 19th-century style of verismo, most famously represented in Mascagni’s Cavalleria Rusticana and Leoncavallo’s Pagliacci, as well as several of Puccini’s works. The operatic verismo movement, like the literary counterpart that inspired it, emphasized realism and characters drawn from everyday life over the elaborate drama of earlier eras. Join William Berger as he discusses the defining elements of the verismo style and its lasting popularity.
