Turiddu, whose mother Lucia keeps a tavern in their Sicilian village, was engaged to Lola. But when he left to join the army, Lola married the carter Alfio. Returning, --- Turiddu consoled himself by seducing Santuzza, only to abandon her and resume his . "' affair with Lola . As the opera begins, Turiddu is heard offstage singing a nocturnal serenade to Lola. He is supposed to have gone to a nearby town to fetch wine for the tavern, but has taken advantage ofAlfio's absence to spend the night with Lola. It is Easter Sunday. Santuzza comes to the tavern searching for Turiddu. Alfio follows, singing the praises of his itin -- - erant work and his faithful wife. The villagers proceed into church for the Easter Mass. Santuzza tells Mamma Lucia about Turiddu's rejection of her. When Turiddu himself appears, she reproaches him again and begs for his love. Lola, on her way to church, pauses to gloat. Turiddu angrily casts Santuzza aside; she curses him, and revenges herself by hinting to Alfio about his affair with Lola. Alfio vows not to pardon them. Leaving church, the villagers mill around the tavern, where Turiddu toasts them with a drinking song. He offers some wine to Alfio, who refuses it and challenges Turiddu to . - ... a duel. Turiddu admits his guilt and says he would gladly die if he were not responsible for Santuzza; bidding his mother farewell, he asks her to take care of the girl. Then he leaves to meet A lfio on the outskirts of the town. Santuzza rushes back and clings to •' ... ... - Mamma Lucia. A woman running on screams out the news: Alfio has killed Turiddu .
