Peasant Honor/Comedians. Easter on the stage of the Slovak National Theatre Opera will be marked by two legendary veristic one-acts, stories of love and betrayal full of famous arias. The strains of the Easter hymn will be heard in Mascagni’s The Peasant’s Honour, set during Easter. It is complemented by the true tragic story of Leoncavallo’s Comedians.

The Comedians (1892) and The Peasant’s Honour (1890) represent Italian verismo, an operatic movement which, at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, chose as its focus the truth of everyday life, the harsh truth of instincts and passions, of fear, hatred, jealousy, but also the truth of love and heroism. The musical language of both operas is engaging, full of changes, contrasts and dramatic tension. And so are the two scored stories: The Comedians is the tragedy of the aging actor Canio, who learns of his young wife’s infidelity from the bitter schemer Tonio and kills both his wife and his brother-in-law for revenge. The equally tragic denouement of The Peasant’s Honour is the result of a sinful relationship between the reckless Lola and her old flame Turiddu, for which Turiddu must, according to ancient custom, pay Lola’s husband with his own blood.
