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.

In 1907 he moved to London to sing with Royal Opera at Covent Garden.  In 1910, Venturini became a member of the Chicago Opera Association where he performed roles until the summer of 1917.  While in Chicago he sang mostly character parts but did sing some major roles like Turiddu in "Cavalleria rusticana", Edgardo in "Lucia di Lammermoor" and the Pinkerton in "Madama Butterfly".

  Title: Pietro Mascagni
  Passage: Pietro Antonio Stefano Mascagni (] ; 7 December 1863 – 2 August 1945) was an Italian composer most noted for his operas. His 1890 masterpiece "Cavalleria Rusticana" caused one of the greatest sensations in opera history and single-handedly ushered in the "Verismo" movement in Italian dramatic music.  While it was often held that Mascagni, like Leoncavallo, was a "one-opera man" who could never repeat his first success, "L'amico Fritz" and "Iris" have remained in the repertoire in Europe (especially Italy) since their premieres.  Mascagni said that at one point, "Iris" was performed in Italy more often than "Cavalleria" (cf. Stivender).

In the next few years he performed in "Madama Butterfly", "L'Africaine", "Carmen", and further performances of "Cavalleria rusticana".  Although he was long a star at La Scala, he was largely unknown to American audiences until he began to tour there.  His continued career carried him to such places as the Solis in Montevideo, Uruguay in 1916, the Dal Verme in Milan (performing "Mefistofele"), the Hippodrome, St. Petersburg, Florida, in 1927, and The Dell Ofrecie Grand Opera Company of New York (performing "Aida").

  Title: Mala Pasqua!
  Passage: Mala Pasqua!  (Bad Easter!)  is an opera in three acts composed by Stanislao Gastaldon to a libretto by Giovanni Domenico Bartocci-Fontana.  The libretto is based on Giovanni Verga's play, "Cavalleria rusticana" ("Rustic Chivalry") which Verga had adapted from his short story of the same name.  "Mala Pasqua!"  premiered on 9 April 1890 at the Teatro Costanzi in Rome, six weeks before Pietro Mascagni's opera "Cavalleria rusticana" which was also based on Verga's play.  Bartocci-Fontana's libretto adds some elements that were not in Verga's original and expands on others.  The name of the Santuzza character was also changed to Carmela, but the basic plot and setting remain the same.  Its title refers to the curse which Carmela places on Turiddu, the lover who had spurned her: "Mala Pasqua a te!"  ("May you have an evil Easter!") .  Following its Rome premiere "Mala Pasqua!"  had a few more performances in Perugia and Lisbon, but it was completely eclipsed by the phenomenal success of Mascagni's opera.  After the 1891 Lisbon run it was not heard again until 2010 when it was given a semi-staged performance in Agrigento, Sicily.
