Cavalleria rusticana
Domenico Monleone (January 4, 1875 – 15 January 1942) was an Italian composer of operas, most noted for his opera "Cavalleria rusticana" of 1907, which for a while rivalled the success of Mascagni's work of the same name which was from the same source. The work was the third opera to be based on Verga’s 1884 theatrical adaptation of his own short story, "Cavalleria rusticana", Stanislao Gastaldon’s "Mala Pasqua" (1888) being the first, and Mascagni's famous opera (1890) being the second.
