Cavalleria Rusticana Highlights

After missing most of Seattle Opera’s online programming this summer, I bought season tickets to make sure I don’t miss out this fall. Even though the season only runs through the end of the year, it contains more opera than a regular full season. Only it’s all online. The first “performance” was a highlights recital of Cavalleria rusticana. Based on the plot summary, I had my doubts about Cavalleria rusticana, but I know that beautiful music and the pageantry of live performances matter more than plot in opera. But how would it hold up without the spectacle of live performance?
