    Mascagni’s Cavalleria Rusticana is credited as the first Verismo opera. Verismo brought “realism” to opera, offering characters from everyday life. The genre became popular in Italy with operas by Leoncavallo, Cilea, Giordano, Catalani and especially Puccini. We are fortunate that recorded sound preserved some original interpreters. This talk will examine the leading ladies of Verismo operas, with examples by singers from the 1890’s to the present.
