"Vesti la giubba" ("Put on the costume", sometimes translated as "On With the Motley") is a famous tenor aria from Ruggero Leoncavallo's 1892 opera Pagliacci. "Vesti la giubba" is sung at the conclusion of the first act, when Canio discovers his wife's infidelity, but must nevertheless prepare for his performance as Pagliaccio the clown because "the show must go on".

The aria is often regarded as one of the most moving in the operatic repertoire of the time. The pain of Canio is portrayed in the aria and exemplifies the entire notion of the "tragic clown": smiling on the outside but crying on the inside. This is still displayed today, as the clown motif often features the painted-on tear running down the cheek of the performer.

The 1902 recording of the aria, sung by Enrico Caruso, was the first million-selling record in history.

This aria is often used in popular culture, and has been featured in many renditions, mentions, and spoofs.

It’s such a sad thing that the art of opera has fallen into obscurity these days. No other type of music or singing has ever been able to draw out the level of emotion from me that these genius writers and fantastic vocalists can. Makes me wish people still wrote opera....

Grande ci sono commenti per l'intensità sonora per l'intensità e la drammaticità che trasmette. La musica non conosce confini quando é eccelsa. Ricordo che Caruso ispirò lucio dalla in una sua memorabile canzone CARUSO
GRANDE CARUSO MA GRANDE LEONCAVALLO E GRANDE LUCIO DALLA CHE DA CARUSO FU GREAT CARUSO GREAT LEONCAVALLO GREAT MUSIC THAT DOESN'T KNOW

In english (thumbs up if u like)

Act! While in delirium,
I no longer know what I say,
or what I do!
And yet it's necessary... make an effort!
Bah! Are you not a man?
You are a clown!

Put on your costume, powder your face.
The people pay to be here, and they want to laugh.
And if Harlequin shall steal your Columbina,
laugh, clown, so the crowd will cheer!
Turn your distress and tears into jest,
your pain and sobbing into a funny face – Ah!

Laugh, clown,
at your broken love!
Laugh at the grief that poisons your heart!

I love this performance. Somehow, the artist brings out the crude low-life character of the clown, yet keeps the lyric beauty of the music. This is Italian realismo at its best.

1:58 reminds me of a Ren and Stimpy episode where Stimpy has an addiction to TV and Ren straight locks him in the basement after overdosing on "too much TV" lmao the song plays while Ren reminisces and Stimpy is literally going through withdrawal super dark lol
