[mascagni-interest] Mascagni in San Francisco (and San Jose)

[Erik Bruchez]

Dear list,

I just posted a new article about Mascagni's visit to San Francisco in
1903. The article was published in the program of the San Francisco
Opera for the current performances of Cavalleria Rusticana and
Pagliacci:

As of today, three more performances will take place in San Francisco,
on the following dates:
o Wed, Oct 8, 2003  at 7:30 PM (today)
o Sat, Oct 11, 2003 at 2:00 PM
o Fri, Oct 17, 2003 at 8:00 PM
The old production by Jean-Pierre Ponnelle is quite interesting albeit
a little challenging at times, and the cast of Cavalleria Rusticana is
very good, with Antonio Nagore as Turiddu and Andrea Gruber as
Santuzza, finely conducted by Marco Armiliato. Don't miss this if you
are in Northern California or can make it there!
More information is available from the San Francisco Opera Web site:

Opera San Jose, a smaller institution, is also doing Cavalleria
Rusticana and Pagliacci in November. More information is available on
their Web site:
