Yet a third venture was an Italian season given by Signor Lago at the Shaftesbury Theatre. This was notable chiefly for the first production in England of Pietro Mascagni's “Cavalleria Rusticana," which, I need scarcely say, created a sensation. The performance (conducted by Arditi) was not to be compared with those subsequently heard at the leading opera-house, but it served; and the fame of the young Italian composer spread with marvelous rapidity. It should be noted that Marie Brema here made a modest but effective debut in opera as Lola; while the cast further comprised Adelaide Musiani (Santuzza), Grace Damian (Lucia) and Francesco Vignas (Turiddu). |
