Basically, this aria is about a clown called Canio, that discoverd is wife, called Nedda, was cheating on him with a guy called Silvio. He is saying in middle of tears and craziness, that "show must go on" because people go to the circus and pay to smile and have a good time. Vesti La Giubba means, as u said correctly, put on the costume and smile to the life.
Watch "Una furtiva lagrima" and "Caruso" with English captions. You have entered the rabbit hole of Pavarotti. He left us 40 years of beautiful music. Also, it is a crime to watch him and interrupt his performance. Each one is like gold.
You've reacted to Pavarotti. And you've reacted to U2. Did you know the band collaborated with Luciano Pavarotti? A beautiful song called "Miss Sarajevo". Bono has said that this is his favorite U2 song. It is one of my favorites as well. I know you will enjoy it. God bless...
Pavarotti went to great lengths to ensure Bono wrote that song also, he even went as far as befriending his Italian housekeeper and getting her to constantly ask bono to write a song for Luciano
This is the last song/aria Pavarotti sings in the first act of the opera Pagliacci. Canio (Pavarotti) finds out that his wife Nedda was unfaithful to him but he's trying to focus on the play he's preparing to act in because as Freddie Mercury would say "Show must go on." In the play in the opera Pavarotti plays the role of a clown named Pagliacci (Ita. for Clown). His wife Nedda, who plays Columbina, is also in the play. I don't wanna blow anything but things get a little heated in Act 2. You'd have to watch the second act of opera (w/English subtitles) on RU-vid to find out what went down. It's like a soap "opera" dude 😎
You heard one of the greatest!!! i first heard him at 3 years old i said play the man for me mommy!!! that's 51 years ago!!! i have 4 tenor favorites Pavarotti, Mario Lanza, Mario del Monaco, & Antonio Paoli

Good catch. There are some videos that go on just a tiny bit longer, and you hear those cellos at the end emitting a quiet, low-throated growl, very ominous.
Hello if you get this video with the lyrics, then you'll understand at allí every sign of pain on his face, tone and then this will reach deep inside and make you cry.
he has just discovered his wifes infidelity and he must put on his costume and makeup and entertain the audience. He must pretend to be happy. This is an aria from the opera. Find the one with English and you will find out what this is about.
I recommend you inform yourself with as much info from the Opera you are going to react as possible. In this case, they are a group of clowns making a show about the main clowns wife having an afair on him, in this case Pavarotti is the main clown, but at the same time he just discovered that in real life he is also being cheated from his wife which plays his wife in the play. But he has to perform for the public and has to hide his emotions while he has to play as the clown who has been betrayed. Its a great Opera and a great Aria. If you do this research before reacting to the next Arias, Im sure they will be more impactful for you and your viewers will enjoy the videos even more! Great video!
In this story, our hero is an acot in a play where he plays clown that laughs when his wife leaves him. As we see, he finds out 5 minutes before his next show that his wife is cheating on him, so this piece is about him dealing with that fact, while getting ready to do the next show.
Pavarotti was the master. Listen to Pavarotti and Eric Clapton sing “Holy Mother”. Clapton wrote the song when his child died, it’s great. You should also check out the English Tenor Alfie Boe, he’s fabulous! Alfie Boe believes music is music, no matter if it’s rock, country or classical. He does it all, and is excellent!
The story is a typical tragedy of late 19th century italian art and literature. Also known as the "verismo era" The music is what's great about it, not the story. Actually the opera of this period is considered to be the greatest in melody and composition. Even people who don't know much about opera heard about the great italians like Verdi, Puccini, Leoncavallo, Umberto Giordano And there's a greater aria from this opera right at the beginning "Si può Si può"
He discovered his wife cheated on him and he is just a carnaval clown. He puts on his clown make up because the show must go on. But like all operas, it ends in tragedy
