  Roberto Alagna Reviews - I Pagliacci, Los Angeles Opera, September 2005   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
"Pagliacci" ("The Players") impacts the senses at a deep emotional level that only opera can pierce; there is no palliative for the residual scuffing of the heart that lingers long after those four final words of the drama -- "The comedy is over" -- are spoken.
Within the play about the joyous arrival of a group of traveling players in a country village is another play that is taking place behind the commedia dell'arte masks of the players.
Pagliacci offers the purest tale of jealous Italians in an art form rife with jealous Italians; like a straight shot of Cinzano, it's short and bitter, with a sweet aftertaste.

 I Pagliacci
Pagliacci is the Italian word for clowns, a decidedly unique subject for grand opera.
Pagliacci is startling and intense from the entrance of the Prologue to the clown's last word, "finita." The music abounds in surprises, and altho Leoncavallo has been charged with some plagiarism, his work but reflects the influence of such recent composers as Wagner and Mascagni.
The opening orchestral measures are of peculiar rhythm, and suggest the spasmodic movement of puppets on a string; but this implies no lack of dignity to the composition.

 I Pagliacci - Ruggiero Leoncavallo
I Pagliacci, variously translated as Traveling Players or Clowns, is a popular and often performed short opera in the verismo style.
A tight, well structured libretto uses the play-within-a-play device to explore classic themes of passion, adultery, jealousy, and revenge, all of which is highly suited to operatic expression.
Zeffirelli, never known to function in the mode of understatement, came up here with an over-the-top interpretation, placed in a contemporary urban environment, replete with three story tenements, a wedding, fire eaters, drag queens, children, animals, and enough jugglers and acrobats to staff Barnum and Bailey for a decade.

 Leoncavallo I Pagliacci
I Pagliacci, Ruggiero Leoncavallo's verismo masterpiece, has fared particularly well on recordings.
Throughout, perhaps it is possible to discern the mark of Arturo Toscanini—the man who led Pagliacci's 1892 premiere and who ended his second tenure as La Scala Music Director the year before this recording.
Nevertheless, the sound is more than adequate to allow enjoyment of a performance that is captivating from first note to last.

 Leoncavallo's I Pagliacci   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
f a composer must settle for holding his place in music history on the strength of a single piece, then it may as well be as fine a one as "Pagliacci." Most of Leoncavallo's operas either flopped from the start, or enjoyed brief success only to disappear from the repertoire later.
For once in his career, on the 21st of May 1892, at the Teatro dal Verme in Milan, "Pagliacci" brought him a triumph that was to last.
Here was a work of irresistible dramatic and musical force, and one that deservedly left a permanent mark on that idiosyncratic body of lyric art which constitutes Italian opera.
