The publisher of the present First Edition had announced a competition in July of 1888, open to all young Italian composers who had not yet had an opera performed on stage.  Mascagni apparently had not heard of the competition until only two months before its closing date, but found his librettists and completed the work in time for submission on the final day of the competition. The opera won and was first performed in Rome at the Teatro Costanzi on May 17, 1890 with Mascagni apparently taking 40 curtain calls on opening night. It has since remained one of the most beloved of all Italian operas, frequently paired  in a so-called \"Cav\/Pag\" double-bill with Leoncavallo's Pagliacci.","brand":"Schubertiade Music and Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46093102416031,"sku":"555","price":600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/4826\/7423\/files\/Mascagni_Cavalleria_1st_1.jpg?v=1722185951"},{"product_id":"672-callas-maria-nightgown-with-photograph","title":"Callas, Maria.
