Synopsis:

1954 Pagliacci truly offers un nido di memorie. Next to the first ever television appearance of Franco Corelli, there is the unsurpassable Tonio of Tito Gobbi and some fine conducting from Alfredo Simonetto. In addition to all that, there are two interesting bonus features including the operetta aria 'O rosa di Stambul' and the notorious RAI costumed stagings by Corelli in the eighties, where he lip-synched to a recorded playback some of his most famous aria recordings. These eighties stagings came at a time when Corelli was contemplating a possible comeback. All this is made available by Hardy Classic Video in a technically impeccable print, with matching sound.

Franco Corelli is featured in this 1954 filmed version of Leoncavallo's opera, along with Tito Gobbi. The film also features opera arias from "The Rose of Stambul," "Aida," "Cavalleria Rusticana," "Igemisco" and "Il Trovatore."
