Mario Lanza Vesti La Giubba 1958 Widescreen

From Mario's last film, "For The First Time".

[@MISTAH.X]

Heard joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says, "Treatment is simple. Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up." Man bursts into tears. Says, "But doctor...I am Pagliacci.

This is a masterpiece! The fact that in 1892, someone created an opera about the daily life and psychological struggles of a clown, is just so touching and genius at the same time. Mario Lanza on the other hand, made sure we all feel this opera to the core!

[@fassstEddie]

isn't this a story within a story?

[@mrLillipad]

@@fassstEddie A months late answer you may have already googled the answer to, but no. Vesti la giubba comes from the late 19th century opera Pagliacci, and tells the brief tragedy of the stage clown Canio. In the story, he discovers his wife is having a love affair, this song is played while he's being forced into makeup and costume and put onto a stage with her because it's too late to stop the show and they must perform.

You do know that there are TWO stories in this opera?

CANT UNDERSTAND A SINGLE WORD STILL CRYING AT THE BEAUTY OF HIS VOICE

[@leneziak]

Joshua Fleming It's Pagliaccio the Clown, just after discovering that his wife was cheating on him, singing (before the song he's actually supposed to sing) that his heart is broken but a clown must make his audience laugh, as they paid for it. (variation of the Paradox of Diderot)

[@NWO4LIFE4EVAJF]

Michael Dohmen wow BEAUTIFULLY TRAGIC

[@caseykendall5506]

Joshua Fleming It's actually worse than that. The character is Cannio, and he's playing Pagliaccio in a play. Cannio has just been told his wife is cheating just before he has to play a character whose wife is also unfaithful, but his character doesn't know and laughs like an idiot. The irony is just awful and sad--he has to go on stage and pretend he doesn't know, all the while the audience is unknowingly laughing at his pain. The part starting at 1:56 goes like this: "Laugh, clown at your broken love! Laugh at the grief that poisons your heart!"

He cries that in the crowd he has to fake a smile at his broken love, his ex wife. So no laughing at his pain, he cannot contain his pain even as a clown.

360 'thumbs downs' from music snobs, who continue to talk through their backsides about him not being a real opera singer. He may not have sung in endless opera productions, yet he sang with a heart and passion that the so-called greats couldn't match - and he brought opera to the masses, which is something that the relatively small world of the operatic stage doesn't do, then or now. No doubt that's another reason these music snobs don't like him, in that he brought opera to ordinary people, taking it out of their exclusive world of opera. Truly, he was 'the people's tenor'.

@@Mikep487 Bjorling has a great recorded performance of Turandot with Nilsson, where the dials were turned up in the studio on Bjorling's side of the recording to equal Nilsson's large voice. Can you tell how powerful JB's voice was based on recordings verses fabrication in the studio? Bjorling never sang a live performance of Turandot. Barry Morell is a tenor with a beautiful lyric voice and sounded fine on records. He had a fine career In the smaller houses in Europe. By all accounts, Lanza had a formidable voice and sang about 150 live concerts, but power or powerful should not be estimated by a recording. I saw Corelli live in Trovatore, and although his voice was formidable, it was more lyric in the opera house than on records.

You should see it live 😈

[@ursmue1937]

GOD - you are a prankster, have you seen Del Monaco, Lanza, Caruso, Tucker etc. live ? The big ones are dead , and cannot be replaced. 🤣

[@alephelstein2766]

If they don't feature this in Joaquin Phoenix's "Joker", we riot.

[@rojorohr4723]

I loved the movie, you have no idea how much, and I’ve been thinking it was a lost opportunity cause they didn’t use the song, bit at the same time I feel there was no space, no scene where this sing could be properly featured in.

[@veoqueestasgastandotutiemp1694]

Go to watch 1966 Batman series.

[@rafaelperesdossantos472]

The Joker's make-up is not far away from this one

would fit so great

They didn’t but still a great movie 🍿 and beautiful son Kay and plee brought me here

[@christopherhogan-np3xb]

Fantastic performance.. beautiful voice...

[@Frostgrl681]

This man right here, made me love opera. The first time I saw and heard this I cried. He has me so spoiled I really don't care to listen to most male opera singers. Love, love, love him. His [passion was real, like you can sink you teeth into it.

[@danielmcdermott138]

Lanza was perfection. Even his laugh at 0:41 is beautiful. 1:56 onwards is almost too much to bear; how can anyone express such grief?

[@Bmoney902]

I keep listening and crying to this.

[@kharismaelzachariajabbarsy1962]

+Narondie Something like this is real art. Opera is like emotions and everything a human had that turned into song or performance. Right choice to like the classics

I've always felt that the arias he performed in For The First Time and his album Mario, represent the high point of his vocal and artistic career. I still have the original sound track album, and still treasure it after all these years.

[@connerlaugesen3613]

By far the greatest thing I’ve ever heard.

[@t.s.t.4085]

I LOVE Pavorotti to no end. May we present Mario Lanzo as a contender for this song? This rendition is beautiful, technically correct, and heartfelt. Love to ALL who have sung this song.

[@larmun]

Lanza is' nt a contender he is head and shoulders above everyone.

[@cyrusduduaco728]

1:57 - 2:17just breaks my heart so much

[@gwynjames]

Unbelievable notes my god so emotional and powerful brought tears to my eyes 👀

[@iamcarbonandotherbits.8039]

Keep comments respectful. This is the one time that that warning is not needed. Bravo Mario, Bravo.

[@chrisramirez4880]

Incredible

[@palka54]

My father was a bass opera singer and he adored Mario! And me too !

[@ameliapeabody5491]

My heart just breaks listening to this. Mario was the best ever. No one has the voice and passion that he did.

[@daubipiccoli]

Che cosa più bella! Mario Lanza per sempre lo migliore cantante di opere del mondo insieme a Enrico Caruso. Salute di Brasile a tutti!

[@Samrotten]

Dimentichi Pavarotti

[@daubipiccoli]

[@itopus1]

The best Pagliaccio ever. No one ever surpassed Mario Lanza in this heartbreaking aria, not even Pavarotti.

[@Mikep487]

Many tenors sing Vesti La Giubba better than Pav, as he was a lyric tenor only and did not have the depth of voice to do the aria justice as a lyrico-spinto like Lanza.

[@josephwest6413]

Totally agree. Mario for Vesti la Giubba, and Luciano for Nessun Dorma.

[@massimolombardo946]

Magnifico!!! Che voce!!!

[@jjt9201]

Hope this voice reaches the most remote parts of the universe

[@Isolvedit]

2015 Another new year. Where is the likes of another Mario Lanza? Not a cheap imitation, but someone real and vibrant who can make us all be proud again. There have been great tenors, and we do have some still around, but Mario Lanza was in a class by himself. He not only hit the ball out of the ballpark, he split the seams and torn it apart. Greatness is greatness that few can copy.

[@borisvandruff7532]

Isolvedit Nobody today on the operatic stages is as good of an actor as he was either.

[@carolinecorman2240]

Boris Van Druff Yes. He was a terrific actor

[@lwidinaguilar245]

best performance of this song ever

[@robertavila3078]

Been a fan of Lanza forever. No one compares to him. The voice from heaven

[@gamingalltheway5548]

@@robertavila3078 I prefer Pavarotti.

[@elnegrocanibal]

@@gamingalltheway5548 pavarotti es bueno, pero lanza acá es mucho mas dramático y la aria requiere ser dramático, por la infidelidad.

[@SantiagoObscure]

Este tiene un estilo propio único hasta al pronunciar pagliacco.... PERO LO DE PAVAROTTI ES INMORTAL PORQUE LO HIZO EL A SU MANERA.

[@richardtirre3001]

Mario Del Monaco then Lanza on this

[@edejan]

I have listened to many, many renditions of this favorite aria and have loved many, including Pavarotti, but none, NONE affects me with its beauty and power of voice, with its emotional intensity and it true uniqueness as does Mario Lanza's.

[@henrikjohansson9826]

This movie is now 66 years old. Just as old as the opera was at the creation of the movie.
