The second title of Macerata Opera Festival 2022 is a new production of Ruggero Leoncavallo’s Pagliacci by Alessandro Talevi, which was first staged at the Sferisterio arena in 2015; set design by Madeleine Boy, costume design by Manuel Pedretti, and lighting by Marco Giusti. The opera will be preceded by the screening of one of Chaplin’s finest works, The Circus, in its version restored by Cineteca di Bologna and with the first live performance of its soundtrack since 1928, thanks to the work of Timothy Brock, an international expert of score and film restorations. Brock will conduct the orchestra and cast of Pagliacci, featuring Rebeka Lokar (Nedda), Fabio Sartori (Caino), and George Petean (Tonio)
