DOMINGO/STRATAS/ZEFFERELLI, The names sayes everything. This has to be the Greatest recording of Cavalleria of all time. Singing acting like this will not happend again I am afraid…..
Truly a fantastic performance. I could really feel his rage and pain. I'm not sure how I feel about the final line being translated as "the play is over," instead of "the comedy is over."
I never cared much for Pagliacci, but this is a riveting performance. Domingo's voice rides the waves, and he is frightening. I saw Vickers in the role way back, and he was beyond terrifying. Pav sings beautifully, but just stands like a lamppost. BTW, to anyone who complains that the baritone says the final line: it is written that way! Tenors have stolen that line because, well, they're tenors!
No, that's simply untrue and unfair against Pavarotti. Both, Domingo and him, sing outstanding and on an extremely high level. Any judging can only be out of personal taste, I for example prefer Pav in some lyrical moments ("Sperai tanto"), Dom in the more dramatic ones. Compare the two singers in here: czcams.com/video/ddkt0TK12P0/video.html (the same Nedda btw) But that Pav cannot/would not act is not correct. Just watch his facial expression, it changes within splits of seconds from mourning about the lost love to rage about his wife's infidelity. His words when stabbing her, that's the jealous Italian at his best. So I'm personally convinced that Pavarotti's the better actor, maybe the best. With the last line you are right. It belongs to Tonio. But the other vid shows a good solution for this also, when Tonio has a mad laughter after the desaster he has caused. Nevertheless I prefer the baritone to say it, because it correlates better to the prologue he has in the beginning of the opera.
josef höllenbauer I completely agree! ❤️❤️❤️ Pavarotti has a wayyyyyyy better voice and his acting is subtler and more layered. Domingos is dramatic and big, but not deep enough.
That's actually not true, about the tenors stealing the final line....the original piece says the baritone has the final line, but in 1895 (just 3 years after the premiere) the change was introduced and sanction by Leoncavallo himself ;-) So the performance can go either way, it very much depends on the production, mostly choosing the alternate version.
I agree. Domingo is a great tenor, his singing is great, and his acting is fantastic. Corelli was also a great tenor, his singing is superb, and his acting is fantastic. Pavarotti was a great tenor, his singing is great, and his acting.....let us draw the curtain of charity over that.
Yes, there is nobody like Domingo. His voice, his acting. He doesn't just learn a role. He actually becomes the character, whether Canio, Don Jose, Rodolfo, Otello or any other role. (And there was Silvio sitting in the audience. He could see Canio getting more worked up by the second. And most of it was his fault.)
Terrifying and transporting. Domingo is the best Pagliacco and this Nedda is as well. The audience is in fear. When Nedda tries to sing her role one can feel them try to relax, as if it's all right, just part of the show. But the terror builds and no one can escape. Masterfully done. Bravi.
Yes, this is the best, most riveting performance. Domingo and Stratas are the greatest performers of these roles. And Domingo is the scariest. And it is the comedy is over.
The final line was originally given to Tonio, which makes sense as he's the manipulator behind the scenes, but since 1895 (three years after the production began playing) the tenors, being tenors, have regularly stolen the last line to the point it's just become the new standard, though many do stick to the original.
At the beginning of the opera we hear Tonio/Taddeo singing "Si può" but he isn't Tonio/Taddeo, he is the prologue (he also sings it: "Io sono il prologo"). At the very ending of the opera when the baritone sings "la commedia è finita" he is again no longer Tonio/Taddeo and he returns to be the prologue/ending (or however you wanna call this "metacharacter"). So the fact that Canio sings "La commedia è finita" can sound cool but it doesn't make sense.
I came to know this, like I suppose most people did, from the aria Vesti la Giubba (the famous "Riiiii-di, Pagliaaaacio!", if you didn't know). I saw a PBS program that at one point showed Luciano Pavarotti performing it as a solo piece, in full clown makeup. That's a great aria and even as a little kid who knew nothing about opera I was struck by the irony of the image of the weeping clown. (The popular image seems to be of Canio performing it as Pagliaccio, in full clown attire, even though in the opera, Canio only begins to put on makeup during the aria.) Once I saw the whole thing years later I was disappointed. The beauty of the aria and the whole concept of a performer having to get into character and go onstage and be funny and light-hearted when he has just been devastated... it just seems to fall flat when it's applied to such an unsympathetic character. Instead of thinking "OMG, the poor guy!" I end up thinking "Well, maybe if you weren't such a jealous, possessive, overbearing, abusive PRICK...!"
Still, we don't know if Canio is generally a jealous, creepy jerk or if he became so because of Nedda's inability to cheat discretely. While infidelity is not a capital offense, if he did pick her up off the street and give her a name and a role, she at least owed him fidelity or discretion. Don't you just love opera? Especially when it is performed so expertly.
Pavarotti was not a great actor. Domingo is a better actor than Pavarotti. However both of them were great tenors. But they are both put in the shade by the great Bjorling and the great Corelli.
"La commedia è finita!"
As a cartoon icon once said, "Well, what did you expect in an opera? A happy ending?"
Ma dai troppo bello non ci sarà mai più una bellezza così
Hermosa opera👏👏👏👏👏👏
Una obra de arte
Hasta me hico llorar😢😭
Es una obra maestra en todos los sentidos de la palabra

La tragedia
El sufrimiento

What a powerful performance!
My love is stronger than your hate!! Bravissimo!!!!
Truly a fantastic performance. I could really feel his rage and pain. I'm not sure how I feel about the final line being translated as "the play is over," instead of "the comedy is over."
yes the correct one is "the comedy is over"
My head always interpreted it as "the show is over"
Of course it is "the comedy is over." Did you see the look on, is it Beppo's face, when he slips Canio the knife?
Commedia in Italian means play not comedy.
The last line actually sounds more like, "the infinite comedy," which is strange.
Ive watched this opera countless times and I still cry QQ
🙇♀️🙏🛐✝️感動して…鳥肌が立ち、 胸が震えました。学生時代に、ミラノスカラ座の公演(東京文化会館)で、初めて ドミンゴの生の声を聴いた 思い出深いシーンです
公演後、楽屋に訪ねて行き、サインを頂きましたが、息子さんが２人、遊んでいらしたと記憶しています
その時以来、ずっとプラシド・ドミンゴ✝️神の声を励みにして来ました
また、もう１度、生の声を聴けるのを夢見ています🙇♀️🙏🛐✝️
お身体を大切に いつまでも皆に夢を与えてください♥️🍀✨🌍
Se siente hasta la médula. Superior, tanto la obra como la interpretación.!!!!!!
Fantastic music and performance on display. Thank you for posting this wonderful opera for everyone to listen to.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful and artistic piece!!
Bruno Guerrera You're welcome!
I love how while all of this is going on there is a guy just smoking a cigarette in the crowd. XD
Several, actually.

that baritone was awesome in this opera. this is the best version ever
This is my favoritt tenor,the best(only?)actor and musician!! Regards

I still firmly believe this is the best performance of this scene that’s ever been put to film

PS. Or watch Pav in "Vesti la giubba", and then say he couldn't act!

Nessuno come Domingo ! In quest'opera lui è Canio come nessun altro ...ogni volta mi fa venire i brividi .

Marvelous, thank you for posting this; they play so well, it feels real
3:18, so the Italian phrase for "be quiet" is "Pikachu!"
Now you'll never be able to NOT hear that, MWAHAHAHAHA!
Silencio
3:20 Oh, my god, I actually got it!
The Unitel opera films always have very intense endings
"LA COMMEDIA E FINITA"
FANTASTIC!!!
R.I.P. Franco Zeffirelli!!!

this is just thrillingly outstanding performance
Realmente intenso!
Love this!
Kokios aistros!
Kaip
Otele!
goosebumps
Amazing!
For meg er Domingo den største lyrisk-dramatiske tenor verden har opplever.Stor musiker og skuespiller.
Brynjar Hoff
And Tonio gets to say the closing words for a change! (As Leoncavallo intended.)
Domingo on stage is pure power.
Such a powerful performance!
exquisite!!!!
That was fantastic
Yes be strong sun
4:26 -4:38
I'm obsessed with that part.
Best version I've ever seen
Domingo è bravissimo; poi la regia e del maestro Zeffirelli. Cosa si può avere di più?
4:25 - the pain and anger
yaaaay, bravo!
👏👏👏👏👏👏😭😭
The last frame of this opera....

To omegagilgamesh: of course it is "The comedy is over."
I love Unitel. Check out how they did Wagner's ring cycle

Domingo's voice is gorgeous here. So was Stratos's.

Love it, but I dont like that they made Taddeo say "La commedia e finita"
That's how it was originally written, I believe.

Best pagliaccio
Actually, that's is what the composer actually intended.

I saw a PBS program that at one point showed Luciano Pavarotti performing it as a solo piece, in full clown makeup.

Quien es el desadaptado que le dio dislike?
Smh, he gave him the knife!!
الوكاد ان العبرة ترقى وتنزل..بغيت اطقها بتسوه..
Zefferelli? No!
Zeffirelli!!!
Oops...it's spelled Pagliaccio, with an "i" before the "o." I hate making mistakes like this.
It's so worse to some others interpretations.
Corelli is better by far
After watching Pavarotti's performance, this one looks like a joke. Just too much.
Pavarotti was not a great actor. Domingo is a better actor than Pavarotti. However both of them were great tenors. But they are both put in the shade by the great Bjorling and the great Corelli.
