I Pagliacci

Ruggero Leoncavallo (1857–1919)

DESCRIPTION

An American in Italy scoring a triumph as Canio in I Pagliacci is no small feat, but Richard Tucker achieves just that, thrilling the Florentine audience with his ringing tone and searing intensity. Mietta Sighele is near ideal as Nedda, fully conveying the character's youth, spunk, and longing. Kari Nurmela brings heft and beauty to the role of Tonio, offering the character added dimension with his thoughtfully shaded performance.
