Article · Svenska

Ruggiero Leoncavallo, född 23 april 1857 i Neapel, död 9 augusti 1919 i Montecatini Terme, Toscana, var en italiensk operatonsättare, framför allt känd för I Pagliacci (på svenska oftast kallad Pajazzo). Denna är, liksom Mascagnis Cavalleria rusticana som den ofta framförs tillsammans med, skriven i den veristiska, eller realistiska stil som utgjorde en reaktion mot Wagner och mot den italienska romantiska operan. I stället för en låtsashistorisk handling skildrar de vardagsliv, låt vara med dramatiska händelser.
