The second, composer Ruggero Leoncavallo's I Pagliacci, stars Domingo as Canio, Elena Mauti-Nunziata as Nedda and di Bella as Tonio. The NHK Symphony Orchestra, Union of Japan Professional Choruses and the Hibari Children's Chorus lend added musical accompaniment, under the baton of Oliviero de Fabritiis. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi
