Ridi, Pagliaccio. Sul Tuo Amore Infranto.

The opera that I am basing my video game off of is Pagliacci. Pagliacci is a drama about a traveling comedy troupe and the actors in the troupe. Canio, the main character, is married to Nedda. Tonio wants Nedda and gets rejected but when he finds out that Silvio is having an affair with Nedda, tells Canio. The real life of the characters is reflected in the play that they perform for the townspeople and leads to the tragic ending. I chose this because I saw Pagliacci live in the 8th grade and I think that a video game about a crazed clown is perfect.
