To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Alone, Canio cries out in despair. How can he act a comedy, with tragedy in his heart! Then with bitter cynicism he addresses himself: Thou art not a man, thou'rt but a jester ! On with the motley, and the paint, and the powder I The people pay thee, and want their laugh, you know ! If Harlequin thy Columbine has stolen, laugh Punchinello ! The world will cry, *• Bravo I" At last, sobbing as if his heart would break.
42 I PAGLIACCI he moves slowly towards the theatre, pushes the curtain roughly... as if not wishing to enter, and burying his face in his hands, pauses for a moment to recover himself; then, with a sudden rush, disappears between the curtains.
SECOND ACT It is the evening of the same day. Beppe comes from behind blowing a trumpet; Tonio, following with the big drum, takes up his position on the left of the theatre. People come from all directions to the play, and Beppe arranges the benches for the women, who quarrel about their seats. Meantime the peasants sing a chorus descriptive of their rush for places, and their impatience for the actors to begin.
