Yes, "Mattinata" is a famous art song composed by Ruggero Leoncavallo, not an opera aria. It was written in 1904 and is often performed in concert settings. The piece is known for its lyrical melody and expressive sentiment, typically showcasing the tenor voice. While Leoncavallo is best known for his opera "Pagliacci," "Mattinata" stands out as a celebrated vocal work in its own right.
