Above: Carla Gavazzi as Santuzza

I love this old RAI film of Mascagni’s CAVALLERIA RUSTICANA sung and acted in Olde School verismo style by Carla Gavazzi (Santuzza), Mario Ortica (Turiddu), Giuseppe Valdengo (Alfio), Maria Amadini (Mamma Lucia), and Rosita Gilardi (Lola), with the Orchestra & Chorus of RAI Milano conducted by Arturo Basile.

Watch and listen here.
