oh boy maybe you could give me a hand in understanding this joke? i looked up pagliacci, it’s an Italian opera about a guy unlucky in love and may mean clown. its also a pizzeria in Seattle…

He is the sad clown of all sad clowns. His is a character of tragedy. It's a way of saying there's someone who has it worse than you.

That, but in Shelly Duvall's voice

So beautiful, with Pavarotti. But maybe I missed the point, in the first post, IDK

notsodivinemsm.bsky.social•12 days ago

Is there a reason you picked Pavarotti? Just curious.

evalilliekvist.bsky.social•12 days ago

I think it's because I always loved the powerhouse of a voice, that he had. So I checked his version out first 😊

notsodivinemsm.bsky.social•12 days ago

I grew up with an opera singing mother so I was exposed to many tenors. Pavarotti wasn't at the top of my list. Jaume Aragall, Alfredo Kraus, Kurt Streit were. Here is Jaume whose voice stayed beautiful into his senior years.

Thank you for your other options to the enjoyment of the opera.
I never heard of any of them, but will certainly give it a try, one of these days
