Leoncavallo sought to create an "epic poem" for the stage. However, one contemporary review of the premiere stated:
Pagliacci (; literal translation, "Clowns") is an Italian opera in a prologue and two acts, with music and libretto by Ruggero Leoncavallo. It is the only Leoncavallo opera that is still widely performed. Opera companies have frequently staged "Pagliacci" with "Cavalleria rusticana" by Mascagni, a double bill known colloquially as 'Cav and Pag'.
Leoncavallo also composed songs, most famously "Mattinata", which he wrote for the Gramophone Company (which became HMV) with Caruso's unique voice in mind. On 8 April 1904, Leoncavallo accompanied Caruso at the piano as they recorded the song. On 8 December 1905 he recorded five of his own pieces for the reproducing piano Welte-Mignon.
Leoncavallo originally titled his story "Il pagliaccio" ("The Clown"). The baritone Victor Maurel, who was cast as the first Tonio, requested that Leoncavallo change the title from the singular "Il pagliaccio" to the plural "Pagliacci", to broaden dramatic interest from Canio alone to include Tonio (his own role).
Leoncavallo wrote his opera "La bohème" contemporaneously with Giacomo Puccini's own treatment of the same story. Leoncavallo later revised the work, titling it "Mimì Pinson", but despite initial respect, it did not survive. Puccini's version has become a standard in the operatic repertoire, whereas Leoncavallo's opera is rarely performed. Leoncavallo's version did not receive its UK premiere until May 1970.
Around 1890, when Pietro Mascagni's "Cavalleria rusticana" premiered, Leoncavallo was a little-known composer. After seeing Mascagni's success, he decided to write an opera in response: one act composed in the verismo style. Leoncavallo claimed that he based the story of "Pagliacci" on an incident from his childhood: a murder in 1865, the victim of which was a Leoncavallo family servant, Gaetano Scavello. The murderer was Gaetano D'Alessandro, with his brother Luigi an accomplice to the crime. The incident resulted from a series of perceived romantic entanglements involving Scavello, Luigi D'Alessandro, and a village girl with whom both men were infatuated. Leoncavallo's father, a judge, was the presiding magistrate over the criminal investigation.
