Tremendous performance!!!! I have read the synopsis of this story and the origin of Nedda's infidelity was the fact that Canio (Pagliacci) adopted Nedda as an orphan, raised her in the circus troupe, her movements were under his absolute control, and made her his WIFE. I am not sure whether this indicates "pedophilia" but notice how his humorous personality on stage is masked by his distorted personality of paranoia, violence, possessiveness and jealousy and forbidding any man to come in contact with her. This could be the reason why Nedda had a Silvio as her confidante and that companionship lead to a risky romance. I am not condoning infidelity, but I am relating an insight of why the tendency for someone to be unfaithful develops. This opera and Carmen give meaningful lessons of what it means to be compassionate and faithful to your significant other. Never assume your "ideal" partner to be perfect and flawless for a lifetime.
@@ezequielstepanenko3229 a definition of joke is to belittle Del Monaco 🤦♂️ Let's talk, for example, just about the language: the pronunciation is not convincing. The musicality of the language is extremely important. Let's talk about the voice: Del Monaco's vocal art is superior. If you talk about tastes, it's ok, "de gustibus non disputandum est". But the reality is just one. So, be objective, don't joke on 🤷♂️🤫 Adios 👋🍻
Esto está filmado para televisión y entre el público de la escena aparece Herbert von Karajan. Qué pena la filmación, el canto no coincide con la boca de los cantantes. Pena que no sea en vivo. Vickers genial 😀!
@nevikmoore Silly comment. This was real trgedy, real art. The expression of the composer's tragic message of heartbreak, infidelity, jealousy treachery and finally the murderous ending in the hands of such artists as Karajan, Kabaivanska, Glossop and of course Vickers can't be found today. "Issues relating to women"--sheesh!
I had high expectations for Jon Vickers' performance of Canio but was greatly disappointed. His vocal line was quite measured and stoic until the very end, where he showed some emotions of jealousy and anger. His acting was also rather weak, showing little emotion especially in his face. Canio is heartbroken and betrayed as he confronts Nedda, but Vickers doesn't convince me of that. In my opinion, the very best Canio was performed by Franco Corelli in his film version. He is extremely convincing in this role and doesn't spare his voice in expressing his rage. When you watch his acting, he weds his words to his physical movements toward Nedda. I still get chills every time I view this video. Here is the link to his performance: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-46AsxbF_U0c.html
4:45 Vickers getting closer looks like a beast who is getting closer to it's prey.........it reminds me of the Alien (1979) when it is about to rape and murder Lambert!!ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NZbcLIXhyxA.html
