The music drama “Pagliacci”, in which the aging fairground actor Canio learns that his young wife is cheating on him and he can no longer distinguish between theatre and reality due to jealousy, was Leoncavallo’s greatest success and at the same time a manifesto for verismo.

This vocal score, based on the new edition of the full score by Andreas Giger (BA07648-01), presents the work both in the early one-act version without the prologue and intermezzo as well as in the final two-act version with the prologue and intermezzo.
