One of the most enduringly popular of all operas, Pagliacci is a classic of the verismo, or realistic operatic tradition. Based on a real-life incident, this vivid musical drama begins as a simple farce involving Harlequin, Columbine and Clown, turns suddenly into a series of threatening encounters, and ends in a double tragedy. This full-score edition is reprinted from the authoritative 1892 score published by E. Sonzogno of Milan.
