Description 'Laughter' is set during the 40s in a small Italian town and serves as a unique prologue to the tragic events of Pagliacci. A troupe of military entertainers prepares to perform a comedy of forbidden love for the local townspeople, complete with feats of physical acrobatics and beautiful singing. In 'Tears' (Pagliacci), the curtain comes down on this whimsical theatre as the offstage lives of the performers unravel following the revelation of a secret affair.
