Pagliacci
Der Bajazzo 1892
Ruggiero Leoncavallo’s Pagliacci from 1892, considered the highest expression of musical verismo, is always mentioned in the same breath as its historical counterpart, Pietro Mascagni’s Cavalleria rusticana, and the two operas are frequently performed together in a double bill. Pagliacci is unquestionably Leoncavallo’s masterpiece. The 2021 edition by Andreas Gies includes a critical report in Italian and English. The editor corrects ambiguous and erroneous readings that have arisen over time due to inconsistencies in the autograph and offers practical guidance for today’s performers.
