'Ham 'n Eggs' Operas Sef For Saturday “Cavalleria Rusticana” and “I Pagliacci,” the twins of grand op era to be presented at 8 Saturday night in McArthur court, have been nicknamed “ham and eggs” by the music world. The two operas have become a perennial double bill. Abounding in familiar melodies, they are among the most popular operatic produc tions in America. Both deal with the lives, loves, and deaths of simple Italian peas ants. Both were presented nearly 60 years ago by the same company. Sicilian Love Story “Cavalleria Rusticana” is a one act melodrama by G. Targioni-Toz zetti and G. Menasei set to music by Pietro Mascagni. It is the story of the Sicilian peasant girl Santuzza, who be comes the mistress of a soldier who returns to his village and finds Lo la, his sweetheart, married to someone else. Marguerite Lamb will sing the part of Santuzza. Turiddu, the ex soldier, will be played by Jon Crain. Margaret Roggero will play Uucia, his mother. Frank Cappelli will sing the role of Alfio, the teamster. Grace Hoffman will portray Lola. “The Players” “I Pagliacci”—translated “The Players”—is a two act drama by Ruggiero Leoncavallo. The plot is based on a tragedy within a travel ing troupe of players. Canio, chief of the comedy troupe, discovers that his wife, Nciiiin, has been unfaithful to him. When Nedda refuses to tell the name of her lover, Silvio, Canio plans his revenge a performance based on the actual circumstan ces. Tragic Ending During the “comedy,” Canio sud denly stops acting and rushes at Nedda demanding the name of her lover. Frightened, Nedda calls to Silvio as Canio thrusts his dagger through her breast. Silvio hurries to the stage, where he too is stabbed. Canio turns to the village audience and announ ces “The comedy is ended.” So is the opera. Cast Listed Ernest McChesney will play Ca nio; Constanza Pillori, his wife Nedda; Richard Torigi, Tonio; Byron Steele, Beppo; and Thomas 'Perkins, Silvio. The production will be directed by Paul Breisach. Stage director will be Desire Defrere. Sponsored by the Civic Music As sociation, the opera is open to mem bers and to University students.
