Description:Premièred on 21 May 1892 at Milan??s Teatro Dal Verme under the baton of Arturo Toscanini, Pagliacci was an immediate success, and today it remains Leoncavallo??s best known opera, just as Vesti la giubba is perhaps one of the most famous operatic arias of all time. The composer drew inspiration from a real incident that had occurred in a Calabrian town, an incident steeped in love and death, which inspired him to write his personal contribution to the new stylistic-aesthetic trend in Italian opera. In the Prologue, Leoncavallo inserted a clear manifesto on verismo (real theatre). His aim was to ??paint a scene from real life? and since ??the artist is a person, [...] he should write for the people. Therefore, he took inspiration from real life.? In the story of Nedda, Tonio and Canio we therefore nd a well managed mix of art and reality, operatic theatre and life, with the latter almost superseding the former, to the extent that the chorus exclaims towards the end: ??This scene seems so real!? - HERBERT VON KARAJAN
