Ruggero Leoncavallo, Puccini's rival, is remembered chiefly for only one of his ten operas, Pagliacci, written in 1892. It was a story of love and jealousy, in which Canio, with his wife Nedda, member of a troupe of traveling players, learns of her infidelity, but is bound to don the motley and act his part, in spite of his feelings of anguish. In Vesti la giubba, he expresses his feelings, which in the course of the performance will lead to the death of Nedda and her lover.
