摘要
1874年，当瓦格纳依赖巴伐利亚国王路德维希二世，历时20年终于完成了歌剧史上划时代的煌煌巨作《尼伯龙根的指环》时，整个欧洲都狂热地沉浸在瓦格纳所编织的巨大的梦中。所有的一切似乎都可以在瓦格纳的理念中变得无足轻重，此时的浪漫主义已经达到了顶点，民族主义变得空前的高涨，人们像朝拜圣人一样，成群结队地去拜罗伊特聆听瓦格纳冗长的教诲，去感受他复杂而烦琐的“主导动机”给音乐带来的新的启示。
Verismo is the Italian term for ＂realism.＂ Its origin and inspiration were French naturalism and realism in literature. Such realism in art focuses on the lives of oeople in lower social stratum, their experiences in love, betrayal, even acts of violence. Verismo drama, therefore, is close to the people, as people witness realistic settings and happenings. Cavalleria Rusticana and I Pagliacci are perfect examples of Italian verismo operas. Their influence is farreaching; their instant success charted a new couse in music history.
