LEONCAVALLO, RUGGIERO (1858– ) , See also:Italian operatic composer, was See also:born at See also:Naples and educated for See also:music at the See also:conservatoire. After some years spent in teaching and in ineffectual attempts to obtain the See also:production of more than one See also:opera, his Pagliacci was performed at See also:Milan in 1892 with immediate success; and next See also:year his See also:Medici was also produced there. But neither the latter nor See also:Chatterton (1896)—both See also:early See also:works—obtained any favour; and it was not till La Boheme was performed in 1897 at See also:Venice that his See also:talent obtained public See also:confirmation. Subsequent operas by Leoncavallo were Zaza (1900), and Der See also:Roland (1904). In all these operas he was his own librettist.
