PagliacciRuggero LeoncavalloMusikalische Leitung/Direction musicake: Alexandra CraveroNachdirigat/Reprise de direction musicale: Riccardo FiscatoInszenierung...

Ruggero Leoncavallo's veristic masterpiece "Pagliacci" proves that the dividing line between comedy and tragedy is wafer-thin and quickly crossed: the showman Canio, who mimics the betrayed Pagliaccio on stage, learns shortly before the performance that his wife Nedda actually has a lover. The boundaries between play and reality are becoming increasingly blurred, and the cheerful piece is increasingly being transformed into an exciting thriller...

The composer wrote down the text and music for «Pagliacci» in just five months. The extraordinarily successful premiere took place in 1892 in the Teatro Dal Verme in Milan. Leoncavallo had close ties to Switzerland throughout his life; At the beginning of the 20th century he had a villa built in Brissago. In 1904 he staged "Pagliacci" at the Teatro di Locarno.

The ingenious game within a game will be staged by Dieter Kaegi, with the design by Dirk Hofacker. Alexandra Cravero will be in charge of the musical direction.

English

Dass die Trennlinie zwischen Komödie und Tragödie hauchdünn und schnell überschritten ist, beweist Ruggero Leoncavallos veristisches Meisterstück «Pagliacci»: Der Schausteller Canio, der auf der Bühne den betrogenen Pagliaccio mimt, erfährt kurz vor der Vorstellung, dass seine Frau Nedda tatsächlich einen Geliebten hat. Die Grenzen zwischen Spiel und Realität verwischen immer mehr, und das heitere Stück verwandelt sich zunehmend in einen spannenden Krimi…

In nur fünf Monaten schrieb der Komponist Text und Musik für «Pagliacci» nieder. Die ausserordentlich erfolgreiche Uraufführung fand 1892 im Teatro Dal Verme in Mailand statt. Leoncavallo war Zeit seines Lebens eng mit der Schweiz verbunden; Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts liess er eine Villa in Brissago errichten. 1904 inszenierte er «Pagliacci» am Teatro di Locarno.

Das ausgeklügelte Spiel im Spiel wird Dieter Kaegi inszenieren, die Ausstattung stammt von Dirk Hofacker. Die musikalische Leitung übernimmt Alexandra Cravero.
