TLN Media Group, in collaboration with the Toronto City Opera and Villa Charities, presented Cavalleria Rusticana on June 2, 4 & 5 at the Fleck Dance Theatre in celebration of Italian Heritage Month.
Cavalleria Rusticana is an homage to the 300,000 Italian Canadian immigrants in the 1950s, highlighting all the culture, traditions and conflicts of that time. Majority of these individuals found solace and support in the growing community clustered along College Street east and west of Bathurst, and this show – described as an operatic masterpiece of singularly outsized proportions – focused on them.
