The last stage of classic Italian opera, [...] notes, was verismo, a style that developed in the 19th century and comprised stories about ordinary people. “The characters in [TITEL] are exactly those people - they just happen to have moved to the Bronx. Otherwise, they’re the folks in Cavalleria Rusticana or Pagliacci, and it’s given away in the home-movie sequences. Most of the music in [TITEL] is popular music of the times, but in one of the home-movie sequences they play an Entr’acte, an orchestral piece from Cavalleria Rusticana, which gives the show away.”
