Verismo Begins Here
寫 實 主 義 由 此 起
Until 1890, when Pietro Mascagni’s Cavalleria Rusticana won the first prize in a competition, operas had typically been about kings and queens, lords and ladies, or occasionally characters from myths or the Bible. But Mascagni set his one-act opera in rustic Sicily with no nobles or knights anywhere near: just peasants, passion, church, wine, sin and murder. It was a hit from its debut. When Ruggero Leoncavallo saw Cavalleria, he was inspired to write his own one-act verismo opera. Pagliacci, which debuted in 1892, is also set in a small Italian town and also climaxes with a jealous husband murdering his unfaithful wife (based, Leoncavallo said, on a true story). But Pagliacci is structured as a play within a play: when the traveling troupe of comedians (the “clowns” of the title), perform for the villagers, art and life fatally become one. Both operas were set in what would have been for audiences of the time more or less the present day. The stories and the characters who peopled them, furthermore, were meant to be drawn from life, to be “true”, hence verismo. The two operas, so similar in tone and execution that they seem like two acts of a larger work, were paired together almost from the start: the Metropolitan Opera ran them as a double bill as early as 1893. The pairing is now affectionately known among cognoscenti as “Cav & Pag”. Pagliacci contains one of the best-known arias ever written. Although Canio, who leads the troupe, catches his wife in flagrante delicto, the show must still go on. As he is putting on his make-up, he sings “Ride, Pagliaccio” — “laugh, for you are a clown”. This has been a make-or-break aria for tenors since the days of Caruso, but has broken the bounds of opera and extended deeply into popular culture. Cavalleria doesn’t have quite the same showstopper, but the lyrical, contemplative intermezzo — so different from the passions boiling beneath the surface of this opera — is a stable of the symphonic repertoire. But if the love-hate duet between Santuzza and Turiddu, the man who has dumped her, doesn’t stay reverberating in your head for days afterwards, then equally striking Easter hymn (Innegiamo) for chorus and soaring soprano surely will. All things come to an end, and this production ends with opera’s most famous line: as Canio drops the knife, he tells the audience “La commedia è finita” — the play is over.

在 1 890 年皮埃特羅．馬斯卡尼的《鄉村騎士》 於比賽中獲得冠軍之前，歌劇一般都是關於皇 室和達官貴人的，有時則涉及傳說或聖經裡的 人物。但馬斯卡尼以質樸的西西里島作為他 這部獨幕歌劇的背景，故事裡沒有貴族、武 士，只有農民、情慾、教堂、酒、罪與謀 殺。作品一推出就大受歡迎。 得到《鄉村騎士》的啟發，魯傑羅．列 卡華洛也要寫一部獨幕的寫實歌劇。 《丑角》於 1892 年首演，同樣以意大 利一個小鎮為背景，故事也是以一個 嫉妒的丈夫殺掉不忠的妻子為高潮 （列卡華洛說是真人真事改編）。《丑 角》利用了劇中劇的寫法：當巡迴戲 班中的喜劇演員（標題中的「丑角」） 為村民演出時，藝術和生命合而為一， 像宿命一樣。 兩部歌劇或多或少都是以當時的 時代為背景。劇中的故事和人物都 是生活中會遇到的，是「真實」的， 故此是寫實主義。兩部作品的情 調 和 表 演 風 格 接 近， 彷 彿 是 一部大作的兩幕一樣 ─ 兩齣劇幾乎一開始就以 一 對 的 形 式 上 演， 早 於 1 893 年， 大 都 會 歌 劇 院 就把它們一併搬上舞台， 現在行內人都把這個組合稱為 「Cav & Pag」（「騎士和小丑」）。 《丑角》中有一部著名的詠嘆調。 雖然戲班班主卡尼奧發現妻子紅杏 出牆，演出還是要繼續的。化妝時， 他唱著《笑吧，小丑》 ─ 在卡羅 素唱過這首歌後，作品成為了一眾 男高音挑戰的詠嘆調，成王敗寇，而這 首歌曲也突破了歌劇的界限，其影響深入 至流行文化。 《鄉村騎士》不像《丑角》一樣，有教觀 眾熱烈拍掌而打斷演出的歌曲，但劇中一 部充滿詩意、像沉思一樣的間奏曲，建立出與 歌劇表面截然不同的情感，成為了交響樂團經 常演出的作品。桑桃莎和拋棄她的圖列度之間 愛恨交纏的二重唱令人一聽難忘，而合唱團和 高昂的女高音合演的復活詩歌《我們讚美》亦 震撼人心。 最後，演出到了尾聲時，卡尼奧掉下匕首，向 觀眾說：「今天的戲，到此為止。」這句話也 成為了劇中最著名的對白。
