A comprehensive OPERA STUDY GUIDE AND LIBRETTO for Leoncavallo's I PAGLIACCI, featuring Principal Characters in the Opera; Brief Story Synopsis; Story Narrative with Music Highlight Examples; a newly translated Libretto with Music Highlight Examples with Italian and English translation side-by-side; and Burton D. Fisher's in depth and insightful Commentary and Analysis.
This was a concise and insightful read that serves as an excellent introduction to the opera. It helps you appreciate the performance more fully by outlining the key themes and providing both Italian and English translations, which were superb. I highly recommend this series for anyone looking to deepen their understanding and enjoyment of opera.
