Ruggero Leoncavallo’s Pagliacci is a gripping masterpiece that blends raw emotion, unforgettable music, and timeless drama. Audiences should not miss the chance to experience what resonates across generations: love, betrayal, jealousy, and revenge—all set within a traveling performing troupe. The famous aria “Vesti la giubba,” where the lead character Canio sings of hiding heartbreak behind a painted smile, is one of the most iconic moments in operatic history.
