Voici une représentation filmée au Teatro Filarmonico de Vérone en février 2002 dans une mise en scène de la famille Alagna. Paillasse (en italien Pagliacci, qui signifie « Les clowns ») est un opéra en deux actes écrit et composé par Ruggero Leoncavallo, créé le 21 mai 1892 au Teatro Dal Verme à Milan. L’opéra évoque, à travers la vie d'une troupe de commedia dell'arte, la condition des comédiens de théâtre qui doivent en toute circonstance faire bonne figure en scène, quelles que soient les difficultés de leur vie privée.

Cavalleria Rusticana: Magnificently sung, subtly played and dramatically acted… The passion of Sicily, fanned into a bonfire by one of the world's most brilliant conductors and great cast (New York Post).
Pagliacci: An interpretation of exceptionally strong emotions and artistic quality (Il Giorno). Vickers is outstanding, delivering 'Vesti la giubba' with unusual sensitivity and admirable restraint. Kabaivanska and Glossop are also impressive (New York Times).

As comparably short operas Cavalleria rusticana and Pagliacci are often billed together, but seldom is the lead tenor making his double role debut as Turiddu and Canio on the same evening. At the 2015 Salzburg Easter Festival Jonas Kaufmann did just that – to rapturous praise. Universally hailed as a coup for Kaufmann, plaudits were also showered on Philipp Stölzl for his innovative compartmentalized staging which included live video projections while referencing the era of black-and-white movies.

In 1994, the same Metropolitan Opera put two contrasting pieces of the verismo puzzle side by side—the belated verismo of Puccini’s Il Tabarro and the classic verismo of Leoncavallo’s I Pagliacci, which had reached the stage some twenty-six years earlier.

Nell'opera PAGLIACCI di Ruggero Leoncavallo finzione e realtà, vita e teatro, amore e morte si intrecciano alla musica per mettere in scena un dramma ispirato a un fatto di cronaca nera, un femminicidio (tema purtroppo di grande attualità) accaduto a Montalto Uffugo durante l'infanzia del compositore e del quale si era occupato il padre, nel corso del suo mandato come magistrato nella piccola cittadina calabrese. Quest'opera in un solo atto è caratterizzata da una continuità musicale e drammatica che pone un'ardua sfida al direttore, affinché Pagliacci non si riduca a una collana di brani celebri [come Recitar! Vesti la giubba n.d.r.] per voci esuberanti, ma trovi nei pezzi più noti, altrettanti tocchi fondamentali nel disegno delle passioni (dalle note del booklet). Una sfida raccolta dal direttore d'orchestra Filippo Arlia che, registrando questo nuovo progetto discografico al teatro Politeama di Catanzaro con la sua Orchestra Filarmonica del

The role of Nedda in Leoncavallo's verismo classic never entered Callas's stage repertoire, and so her recording made with the forces of La Scala, Milan, between 12 and 17 June 1954 represents one of her explorations of an opera made purely within the confines of the studio, rather than developing over a period on the stage. But as in all such cases - this was the first time she recorded a role she had not previously sung - Callas's desire to explore it to the fullest remains paramount. There is a complete identification between singer and character, down to the smallest detail, that make her Nedda an unusually complex creation that grows throughout the opera as she responds to its desperate emotional thrills and spills.
