In a tiny 19th century Sicilian town, honor is everything, and lost honor demands blood.

When Santuzza discovers that her lover, Turiddu, has abandoned her for his former girlfriend Lola, her anguish and fury lead her to a momentous decision that changes their lives forever.

Mascagni’s lush, romantic score boasts melody after melody, from the uplifting Easter chorus to the heart-wrenching “Voi lo sapete, o mamma,” the joyous Brindisi to Turiddu’s sorrowful farewell to his beloved mother. The cast of Spotlight students and alumni guest artists offer the incomparable delight of catching budding stars on the rise.

Fully staged, in Italian, accompanied by piano.
