Franco Zefirelli makes here an astonishing film adaptation of Leocavallo`s famed opera. Though using scenarios sometimes, the settings are convincing and give another dimension to what was to be carried out in an opera stage. The production surely adds to the musical quality. In relation to this, Domingo is superb. Pagliacci is, no doubt, one of his best roles and he is in a great form. More than this, this record shows us that Domingo can be an extraordinarily convincing actor for an opera singer. The other singers are great as well and were it not because of the great presentation by Domingo, they surely could be de highlights of the cast. The production is really a must for any opera lover, whith great music quality crowned by great scenes.
