Cavalleria rusticana (Vienna, 2019): Reactions

A te la buona Pasqua! (also this has Elina Garanca and Yonghoon Lee, so who can resist?)

oh look the set is fucking dark what a surprise

on this blog we stan both Santuzza and the badass mezzo playing her

spicy times in Sicily

and she saw it all :(

I love Yonghoon Lee <3

(even if he’s playing an absolute douche)

you all suck also Lola you are SUCH A GODDAMN HYPOCRITE

that is not cash money of you at ALL, you random clergy folk

this little girl came up to Santuzza and gave her her veil back but then her mom dragged her away :(

can everyone just stop

awwwwwwwwwwwwwww

I really hate people sometimes

beautiful and amazing also this music bops

okay yeah she is definitely pregnant in this staging

oh honey :(

*heart eyes forever the moment she opens her mouth*

there is some TEA

I’m not Catholic but I’m pretty sure excommunication doesn’t forbid you from going to others’ houses

although maybe it’s an “everyone is shutting her out because of that” issue

this slaps

oh hey by the way your wife is cheating on you

and he saw too

this music is just so lovely

“INNEGGIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMO IL SIGNOR NON E MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORTO”

(I love this chorus so much)

YOU SING IT ELINA

Santuzza deserves better, especially because she should not be someone’s fallback girl because she is amazing

PERFECTION

yeah Turiddu she can’t go into church and it’s YOUR fault

liar liar pants on fire

you do not realize how thoroughly fucked you are

TENORS...

girl’s got sass

you may be pretty and have a lovely voice but you’re a horrible person

dynamite duo in a dynamite duet

how could you say no to HER???

“A TE LA MALA PASQUA”

annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd she told Alfio

(in all fairness, Turiddu FULLY deserves what’s coming to him)

Santuzza is regretting (undeservedly) her life choices

things just move so quickly

oh honey :(

this intermezzo *cries*

this drinking song slaps

well THIS is awkward

bite the ear

maybe you should have THOUGHT ABOUT SANTUZZA BEFORE YOU FUCKED YOUR WAY INTO THIS SITUATION

this aria is great though and Yonghoon Lee is amazing

tfw your son is a Tenor

on the one hand, good riddance Turiddu, on the other hand :( poor Santuzza and Lucia

oh honey oh no she deserves SO MUCH BETTER

:( :( :(

anyway, EXTREMELY good performance

Cavalleria Rusticana A melodrama in one act Music: Pietro Mascagni Libretto: Giovanni Targioni-Tozzetti and Guido Menasci

to all who celebrate: happy Easter and I hope it goes better for you than in this opera

to all, regardless of whether you celebrate Easter or not: this is a hilarious parody of Cavalleria rusticana and also stay tuned for me liveblogging a production!

[infinitelytheheartexpands]

she looks so stunning as a redhead oh my god

[infinitelytheheartexpands]

do you ever have those moments where you just wanna listen to the Cavalleria rusticana intermezzo and cry?

because I sure as hell am having that moment right now
