 Ruggero Leoncavallo   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Such is the case of Ruggero Leoncavallo and his short opera, Pagliacci.
Leoncavallo received his musical education at the conservatory of his native Naples, going from there to Bologna where he received a degree in literature.
Leoncavallo wrote a few moderately successful operas (including a setting of La bohème, written close on the heels of Puccini's), but his fame rests with this one rather short work, which is most often performed paired with another work by a single-hit operatic composer, Pietro Mascagni's Cavalleria rusticana (1890).
