The Opera, Pagliacci

Yesterday, I went to see the opera called Pagliacci in Florence. Pagliacci means clowns. Pagliacci is by R. Leoncavallo. Paggliacci is about an acting troop of clowns. There is a husband and wife, who's name's are Canio and Nedda. Nedda and Canio are both in the acting troop. There are two other men named Tonio and Silvio. They both are in the acting troop too and both love Nedda. Nedda loves Silvio and hates Tonio. This is really about a story about Canio and his wife Nedda, Tonio who loves Nedda and she hates him, Silvio whom she loves and who loves her. Canio finds out that Nedda loves somebody. In the end he finds out that she loves Silvio and he kills them both. Although, this is a sad opera I really liked it! It is a very famous opera!
