Mascagni's 1890 masterpiece, Cavalleria Rusticana, caused one of the greatest sensations in opera history and singlehandedly ushered in the Verismo movement. Though it has been stated and restated ad nauseam that Mascagni, like Leoncavallo, was a "one-opera man" who could never repeat his first success, this is highly inaccurate: L'Amico Fritz and Iris have been popular in Europe since their respective premieres; in fact, Mascagni himself claimed that at one point Iris was performed in Italy more often than Cavalleria (cf. Stivender).
Mascagni wrote a total of fifteen operas, plus an operetta, several beautiful orchestral and vocal works, as well as songs and piano music. He enjoyed amazing success during his lifetime, both as a composer and conductor. If he never repeated the public success of Cavalleria, it was probably because Mascagni refused to copy himself. The variety of styles in Mascagni's operas -- the Sicilian passion and warmth of Cavalleria, the Asian flavor of Iris, the idyllic breeze that ventilates L'Amico Fritz, the French hues in Isabeau, the steely, Verismo quality of Il Piccolo Marat -- demonstrate a versatility that none of the other Veristi could boast, Puccini included.

O Lola ch'ai di latti la cammisa
Si bianca e russa comu la cirasa,
Quannu t'affacci fai la vucca a risu,
Biato cui ti dà lu primmu vasu!
Ntra la porta tua lu sangu è sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu.
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
E s'iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
Ah! ah! ah! ah!
@davidepollak3
Ntra la porta tua lu sangu è sparsu,
E nun me mporta si ce muoru accisu…
E s’iddu muoru e vaju mparadisu
Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.

Your threshold is spranked with blood,
and I don’t care if I’m killed there.
And if I die and go to Paradise,
if I don’t find you there I will not even enter.

did anyone write more passionate words of love?

English translation
O Lola, your dress is white as milk,
you are white and red like a cherry,
your lips smile when you look through the window,
blessed is the man who gives you the first kiss!
Your threshold is spranked with blood,
and I don’t care if I’m killed there.
And if I die and go to Paradise,
if I don’t find you there I will not even enter.

This is the most beautiful opera ever. I absolutely adore it. Wish I could see it again for the first time ❤
@JairFerreira1947
Perfect performance of Placido Domingo !!

Gran bella aria di cavalleria rusticana cantata dal grande Placido Domingo
@esterbruno8604
Grande Domingo! Qui sei sublime, davvero! 💝💝💖💖❤❤❤❤

Deeply moving, eerie, and riveting. I don't know why, but before I actually saw it, it was difficult for me to take Cavalleria Rusticana seriously. The orchestration is SUBLIME, and the story POWERFUL and earthly. It is one of my favorites.
It is one of the rare works of classical music to be INSTANTLY appreciated and celebrated throughout Europe, single-handedly opening the floodgates for a separate genre of opera, the verismo, to flourish.

Che voce e che grande dichiarazione d'amore❤
@eugenerossi6925
His love is so overwhelming that he ends the serenade, in Sicilian dialect, with the words : " ...and if I ever die and go to Heaven, if you are not there, I won't even get in !! ".
@Jeanne90275
Excellent...I love the haunting melody of that aria and Placido Domingo sings it beautifully! Thanks.
