“I gave my jewels for the Madonna’s cloak. I gave my song to heaven, and it became even more beautiful. In the hour of my sorrow, why, why, O Lord, do You repay me thus?”

At the heart of PAGLIACCI is one of the most beloved arias ever written, the cry of a clown whose heart is breaking: “Put on your costume and white-face; the people paid, they want to laugh. And if Harlequin steals your Columbina, laugh, Pagliaccio, and everyone will applaud. Turn your anguish and tears into jokes; into a silly face your heartbreak and sorrow. Laugh, Pagliaccio, about your shattered love. Laugh at the misery which poisons your heart.” Dean Williamson conducted Antonello Palombi and the orchestra of Seattle Opera. Photo by Rozarii Lynch.

PAGLIACCI: Vesti la giubba

"Woman is fickle, like a feather in the wind, always changing her mind and her heart." In this familiar tune, the licentious Duke complains fatuously about the opposite sex. Sung by tenor Theo Lebow; Brian Garman conducts the Seattle Opera Young Artists Program Orchestra.
