Regina Opera Presents an Exciting Beethoven’s Fourth Piano Concerto And a Thrilling Cavalleria Rusticana
By Nino Pantano
Special to Brooklyn Daily Eagle
BENSONHURST — The “verismo” (flesh and blood) one-act opera Cavalleria Rusticana by Pietro Mascagni is usually paired with another magnificent work, Leoncavallo’s I Pagliacci, but not always. I do not think it has ever been presented with Beethoven’s Fourth Piano Concerto. In the borough of the Brooklyn Dodgers, Regina Opera scored two home runs!
