In the theater of a small village, rehearsals are taking place for a show based on the opera I Pagliacci. There is no orchestra, just a piano and the singers. Amongst the few people in the audience there is the mother of the singer, a rich local lady and financer of the project, the sister, and a few other people involved in the show.
