'''Pietro Mascagni''' (1863-1945), [[Italian]] composer of operas, is known almost solely for his masterpiece, ''”Cavalleria Rusticana”'' (''”Rustic Chivalry”''). Whilst he wrote numerous other [[opera]]s, one or two of which are occasionally performed, it is ''”Cavalleria Rusticana”'' that has prospered ever since.
It was Macagni’s first opera, and introduced the ''”verismo”'' style (see [[Giacomo Puccini]]). The plot, set in a [[Sicilian]] village involves adultery, pregnancy, and ultimately, death. It was a sudden departure from the upper-class plots of previous operas. The ''“intermezzo”'' during a break in the action, and following chorus are the most well known parts of the opera.
