  • Ridiii!, pagliaccioooo sul tuo amore infrantoooo

  • MARIO SEI IL NOSTRO ORGOGLIO!!!!!

  • And the oscar goes to...

  • Magnifico

  • Caspita!!! Mi ha fatto venire le lacrime....Grande Mario!!! Il migliore e il più appassionato di tutti i tempi!

  • When most tenors sing this, they try to portray Canio's sadness and heartbroken-ness. What they forget is that Canio is PISSED and ends up KILLING his own wife. I mean, if you knew your wife was cheating on you with someone else, making you a cuckold, and that the bastard was touring with you, you'd be angry as hell. del Monaco captures that perfectly and the acting is incredible. I have to say that this is the best version of the aria.

  • I've only recdently gotten into classical and opera pieces and it has to be said this is one of my favourates, followed by vide cor meum, this genre just tells a story like no other genre of music can

  • Laugh at the grief that poisons your heart!

  • No More Rice Krisipes!

  • puro sesso!!

  • No more rice krispies! We ran out of rice krispies!

  • Grande! Il miglior Canio di tutti tempi!

  • @hopelesslyderanged YouTube is not the only thing keeping opera alive -- the HD Simulcasts of the New York Met is helping a lot! And we have great new talent (Exhibit 1: Juan Diego Florez).

  • This is just a sample of how used to be, WITH THE REAL GREAT SINGERS

  • @populargal124 Mario was great, but he cannot keep it up!!!...He's dead!!!...Adrien Alpendre, Ph.D. (Tulane University, New Orleans, Luisiana)

  • Mario Del Monaco was the best Canio in the history of opera. I had the privilege of seeing him when I was just seven years old and I shall never forget him. Adrien Alpendre, Ph.D. (Tulane University, New Orleans, Luisiana)

  • Que bruto !!! Es magnifico !!!

  • @hopelesslyderanged

    It's true, I found fondness in opera when I was like 17, now I'm 22 and has been singing myself. I wish I can study formally operatic singing, and spread this superb art to the youth~!

  • who are the three jerks that put thumbs down on this video?

  • Que artista fantastico...

  • Una voce,un Mito !!!

    Gli altri tenori,hanno reso grande la Lirica.

    Mario Del Monaco è una leggenda !!!

  • bravoo

  • he is one of the few who dares to cry, to truly cry in this aria, magic, unforgetable

  • Mario Del Monanco is a magician...will make appear tears from your eyes even though you claim to be the strongest man. I F*&^%$! love this...it reminds me, of me. F^%@!!! I"M NOT YOUR F(*&$%# CLOWN!!!!!

  • semplicemente stratosferico,impressionante un grande esempio della musica italiana.grandissima interpretazione,come lui pochi o forse nessuno.grandissimo mario!!

  • Wow! Did he always act so splendidly - I'm not surprised the Japanese love it - it has the ritual intensity of kabuki! He actually reminds me of Toshio Mifune in a Kurosawa movie!

  • anche dopo aver finito la romanza , prima di arrivare al proscienio, è sempre immedesimato nella parte, che grande artista. un saluto

  • Though I like Pavarotti's musical interpretation best, Monaco has the most convincing acting. Superb, actually. I'd like to see Gene Hackman do better - and not swear. :)

  • Idk, I haven't seen this production but I thought Pavarotti had a really nice womanizing/manic air about him. He gave me goose bumps, too, at the end after the killings when he said, "the play is over"

  • superlativa interpretazione...da pelle d'oca...MARIO DEL MONACO...UNICO.

  • Ma non vi emozionate a sentire un fenomeno italiano cantare in questo modo?? Maestro sei un orgoglio nazionale!!!!!!!!

  • Of the dramatic tenors, Placido Domingo and Mario Del Monaco are overwhelming. Both are superb actors: while everyone else plays this tragically, tearfully, Del Monaco brings a pathos, anger, definace to this role that set his style and acting abilities apart from all the others. I marvel every time I see one of these amazing clips of his perfromances: YouTube is a gift to all of us who love opera, and love debating the differences between these tenors. BRAVISSIMO, MARIO!!!!

  • @jd1906sf I agree with most of your statement.However Domingo is not a dramatic tenor.I believe he is a lyric spinto at best.Some SPINTO tenors were Caruso Corelli Tucker Campagnano Barioni Penno.Few are in the dramatic category like MDM Zenatello MartinelliTamagno De Muro Piccaluga Vinay Vickers Fleta & perhaps Pertile&Merli.Enjoy

  • how can one person have it all !!!! the voice, the talent, the looks !!!!!!!! AMAZING!

  • dopo un inizio troppo satanico a mio avviso un finale da brividi...con tanto di lacrimuccia e leppe d'oca... :'-) artista enorme

  • mario sei unico sei grande

  • The longest sustain for the climax i have ever heard and expect to ever hear. Bravo. Truly.

  • maestro,maestro,maestro bravo bravo bravoooo!

  • Que risa!!!

    Bravo Mario!!!

  • even though i love this song, this man made pagliacci seem more like the joker, especially with that laugh..... I LOVE IT! FAVORITE AND 5 STARS!

  • Il suo "infranto" sembra durare per sempre, senza mai finire e quel singhiozzo nella voce... La seconda parte e' un capolavoro di bellezza e di emozione...

  • perfettamente d'accordo era unico nessuno come lui

  • mi fa agghiacciare la risata satanica a 0:28!!! L'ho provata tante volte non ci sono mai riuscito ... grande mario!

  • Comment removed

  • I like very much del monaco....I like this aria by del monaco in the second part (from "ridi pagliaccio sul tuo amore infranto")...but before it's too much "short"-singing....

  • It's too sad that del monaco suffered from a short career from over-use/function. He put too much effort into the notes above his secondo passaggio. Most people would agree he could've had a much longer and greater career if he wasn't hyper-functional! =(

  • Do you know what you're writing about? I think you must mistake del Monaco for di Stefano who did, indeed, have too short a career and ruined his voice in no more than 15 years.

    Mario del Monaco, however, had a career of more than 30 years and even at his last concerts, in mid 70s, he was in glorious voice.

  • I think the Met is helping a lot with its HD simulcasts!

  • I'm agree my friend.

  • the applause sounds added in.

    not that this doesn't deserve a huge applause. it just sounds artificial here.

  • Mario sei stato il tenore piu grande di tutti i tempi una voce unica ogni volta che ti ascolto non posso fare a meno di emozionarmi; questo significa cantare trasmettere emozioni e tu sei stato un maestro in questo. grazie

  • definitivamente Pavarotti y Mario del Monaco son Gigantes de la opera pero no se por q me gusta mas comolo interpreta Mario del monaco no soy fanatico de la opera pero adoro Vesti la giubba y pagliacci me encata como lo interpreta Mario del Monaco la primera vez q lo vi me hizo llorar Grande Mario

  • mira a enrico caruso es otro gigante que hace un super ttrabajo en esta cansion!

  • I don't know how about Caruso?

  • EL UNICO!!!. INSUPERABILE!!!

  • increible, magnifico, grandioso. BRAVO

  • this is my fav from Del Monaco singing Vesti la Giubba

  • please do NOT compare del monaco to pavarotti..... there are BOTH GIANTS ! each one has his personal style.

  • è bellissimo!! m sento mlt vicino al protagonista, tutti noi vestiamo la giubba e mascheriamo i nostri sentimenti nella civiltà, e sotto l'ipocrisia c'è un pulsare vivo d emozioni, che a vlt escono fuori...magari senza uccidere ness1 però!

  • Sol per info: quello che chiami il protagonista, è il più grande tenore drammatico di tutti i tempi e la più grande e "titanica" voce of all times .

  • BEAUTIFUL!

  • Bravo!

  • GRANDE

  • Being not a big fan of Del Monaco's in general, I have to admit: This is great! An excellent example of art coming alive through skill and emotional commitment of the artist.

  • just like the audience member shouts at 2:17 ....YEAHHHHH....bravo

  • performance wise he put a lot into versus pavorotti and domingo (as well as others) but for me it just went by too fast until he belts out the crescendo where he declares to smile at his shattered love was probably his best part, it doesnt carry as much as domingo's or pavorotti's, but then again it is an older rendition so...well played

  • This is the best thing ever...imagine being there!! OMG..best..

  • OUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII, le plus grand Canio de l'histoire du lyrique et pas encore remplacé!

  • The look on his face... Del Monaco was a good actor. And his voice!

  • 1:36 is my favorite musical line of all time.

  • me too

  • Why is it that people scold me whenever I say that Mario Del Monaco was better than Pavarotti performance-wise?

  • I think that your right. Mario del monaco is a better actor than Pavorotti

  • nope

  • I sung this song to myself when I found out my best friend was banging the girl I liked. I wanted to kill him I was soo angry!!! :)

  • Good story.

  • muitooooooooooo bommmmmmm :D

  • this best cannio en the history

    great mario

  • easily the best interpretation of this ever!

  • simplemente un genio del escenario haciendo lo mejor que hace, nadie como MdM

  • my soul cries every time i am watching this

  • I can`t say who was a better singer of all the named ones en every video of MDM, but I`m sure that no one can beat him as an ARTIST...

  • He was the definitive Canio of the 50s/60s. When I was lived a college dorm I used to play del Monaco, Tucker, and Corelli to my friends (who knew nothing about opera or the tenor voice). The look they get in their eyes when they first hear the voices is priceless. This just goes to show that the majority of society doesn't realize that a male voice can sound liket this...

  • he was living for the applaud

    you can tell when you see in his eyes

    he feeds him self via the audience

    canta maestro and the audience will applaud

    give him death mourn and he will crawl upon it

  • Ma ke bella interpretazione..complimenti davvero!

    Fantastico!!!

  • Oh my God: magnífico, magnificent, magnifico, magnifique!!!

  • Tanto sentiemiento, tanta pasión en el arte, ademas el agudo del final fue Magnifico, como preyecto esa energia, esto esta para llorar, GRACIAS del Monaco, gracias

  • Sencillamente único en la historia de la lírica, un gigante en todos los aspectos al menos positivos, digan lo que digan de él, no podrán opacar su grandeza como tenor e interprete, grande Mario del Mónaco, gracias por tu bello aporte al arte lírico, pues con tu singularidad diste otra visión mas a este bello arte.

  • @wootga21 Canio was anything but Elegant.He suffers a mixture of emotions from Torment to jealousy anger and resentment,

  • the voice

  • This is really great and fits him like Otello did, very fine and emotional

  • La más emocionante, conmovedora y sentida versión que jamás haya visto, grandisimo, magnánimo Del Monaco.

    "HASTA LAS LAGRIMAS"

  • NOW THATS WHAT IM TALKIN ABOUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    such feeling such despair a little rushed perhaps =but MAGNIFICENT

  • this man is my idol.

    the first time i saw this on a shitty computer with a fucked up sound system

    i cried.

  • Leggo tanti commenti in lingua straniera, la cosa mi fa piacere, mi chiedo però dove sono finiti gli italiani che amavano il bel canto e che si inorgoglivano per i grandi artisti

    italiani !! l'unico che leggo è ETNALLEB. da Palermo un saluto a tutti Voi. Antonello

  • perchè scriviamo tutti in inglese ;)

  • Ciao io sono un grande appassionato di musica classica e del pianismo. Però dopo aver conosciuto le performances del Maestro Del Monaco sono rimasto sconvolto dalla sua bravura. Evviva l'Italia. Evviva la bella musica!!!!! Evviva il Bel Canto!!

  • I've never seen better acting in opera. The intensity with which he throws the mirror, while the crowd is already cheering, is great by any acting standards.

  • Excelente la tesitura de Mario del Mónaco,realmennte es uno de los majores tenores de la historia,claro esta despues del gran Enrico Caruso.

  • he looks like the joker!

  • He Rushes into It A bit.. :/  Great Song Nevertheless.. Amazing Talent.

  • belisimooo this is the best performence of vesti la giubba  Mario bravisimo

  • Fantastico , Bravo Mario.

  • muy buen melodrama como debe de serr

    BRAVO TENORE

  • Ecco un artista!!

  • Esta es la mejor interpretación de este clásico que vi en mi vida

  • Una sola parola:GRANDISSIMO DEL MONACO!!!!!

  • Insuperable Del Mónaco, simplemente insuperable...

    Esos eran verdaderos ídolos, no las porquerías de hoy en día. Lástima que somos muy pocos los que apreciamos estas maravillosas joyas que alguna vez Dios trajo al mundo para cantar, y que hoy personas como leostrad nos comparte a todos nosotros deléites musicales como este.

    Gerardeus.

  • the best of MDM!!!!

  • realmente no se mucho de opera pero fue curioso que antes de escuchar esta escuche la de Pavarotti y de Domingo y cuando escuche esta en verdad me transmitió el dolor de su interpretación (se me puso chinita la piel) la verdad a mi gusto de las merjores que aya escuchado y visto ya que las de los 2 anteriores no me reflejo nada su interpretacion actuada y del monaco si

    Saludos

  • In questo caso vediamo Del Monaco, uno degli ultimi heldentenor, tenore eroico, e in questo caso una delle sue interpretazioni piu' struggenti, stoiche, senza sentimentalismi inutili. Del Monaco, uno dei piu' grandi cantanti di tutti i tempi.

  • per cortesia, non parliamo di Pavarotti, che aveva solo una bella voce, ma inconsapevole. Le sue interpretazioni sono uguali sia che cantasse il rock, sia che cantasse Verdi. Con lo stesso risultato. Quindi è stato un cantante, seppure acclamato, mediatico... un cantante, non un musicista.

  • fantastic! no other word posible Bravo!

  • la mejor interpretaciòn de este clàsico en la voz del gran Mario Del Monaco, se siente el dolor de pagliaccio en su interpretaciòn...

  • Oh man, you are too much. lol. Reason I thought you just were trying to piss me off was, if you were trying to make a clever conversation, you would explain WHY you think Pavarotti was better. Instead, you just said 'pavarotti is better' which implies that you just want to contradict my statement to tick me off.

  • Es la mejor interpretación de vesti la giubba de todos los tiempos

  • I have horrible taste? Yeah, me and seven million Neapolitans.

    But if you're saying there's no accounting for taste, you're right. There is accounting for intelligence, and you have none. Go ahead, call me a Nazi. That will be persuasive.

  • Sorry, I just don't think of this as a Pavarotti song, just as I prefer Pavarotti's Nessun dorma to del Monaco's rendition (though I haven't found an operatic performance of del Monaco on YouTube, only recitals).  There are other comparables, but I like del Monaco the best.

  • Os fãs do Brasil também saudam Del Monaco pela melhor interpretração de "vesti la giubba" que já foi vista. Obrigado ó inesquecível tenor!!!

  • Great, and Bocelli is even better, isn't he? Even though he'd probably have all that sound equipment next to him on stage during the opera...

    Quit bugging me, I've stopped messing with you, so may you do me the same favor?

  • One of my favorite renditions of this aria...del Monaco nails it.

  • el mejor video de vesti la giubba que vi en mi vida. Espectacular. Ya sólo los aplausos que no paran lo dicen todo, pero ademas de ser cantado excelentemente, la actuacion es buenisima, de primera.

    Un capo y ejemplo a seguir.

  • Una cura meravigliosa, giornaliera, per tutti i mali......ASCOLTARE DEL MONACO UNA VOLTA AL GIORNO. GRAZIE MARIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  • Marvelous!

  • It amazes me that a human being can do that with his voice. It's unreal.

  • My favourite video on youtube.

  • incredible incredible, im sooo ¿happy? haha but i personally prefer the di estefano version, que linduuuu!

    Ridi placiaccio sul taro amore infranto!

  • ahh, ¡sublime y trágica! suprema ironia, mi corazon se destroza junto al de Canio en el paroxismo de su dolor.

    una obra soberbia, la interpretacion ¡genial!

  • His singing is an artform.

  • Unhuman

  • This music is fucking epic.

  • bellisima musica muchas grax por ponerla.

    con esta musica me relajare tranquilamente.

    esta musica es lo mejor.

  • Esta es la mejor interpretación de Vesti la giubba que vi. Mario del Monaco es el tenor que mas me gusta, tiene una gran expresividad, transmite sentimiento en forma increible

  • I don't think anyone will be able to sing this aria better than Del Monaco, he raised the standard of perfection.

  • LOL, newfag go back to gaia, piece of shit.

  • You are not needed here, nor you are interesting. You are just pointless.

  • Tinha q ser americano!!!

    Idiotas!!

  • I´ve blocked him...It's finished

  • I just read About Del Monaco.. His Nick name Was " THE BRASS BULL" I think They should have called him " THE BRASS BALLS " Cause NOBODY sings with the Balls that he has ! When He Died ~ they Laid Him to Rest in his OTELLO Costume.

  • omg best of the best!!!!!

  • That was one of the most wonderful things I've ever seen!!

  • i agree dude

  • he is wonderful as always...

  • Nobody is as powerful as him to sing this one.

  • Wow...yes,, his laughter showed that he's also an actor...What a great interpretation! It gave me goosebumps! BRAVO MONACO!

  • I love this song so much, I talk to my friends about this, and other songs. They knew it as "The Sad Clown Song" it's hard being the only one of my friends who loves opera.

  • Same. It's hard being 14 and loving opera when you can't relate to anyone else.

  • I am in the same boat, I loved opera with a passion, have really since I was about 4 when me and my grandfather would listen to opera.

  • dude, i was in the same boat as you when i was 14, i love the masters, and opera, and the 14th and 15th century catholic masses, but i will tell you something, you appear more sophisticated and it will drive girls crazy. so long as you dont act like a dweeb or over play it.

  • That was my problem...in my teens I drove everyone nuts with the opera. I didn't give a damn what they thought, and I still don't.

  • Damn right. My family thinks im crazy for liking it. Because I also love rock. but once you go opera you dont go back

  • Well, thankfully I came from a family of opera singers and fans, so they were glad I wasn't a fan of the 'other music'. To tell the truth, I like old 70s pop and some old rock, but I don't tell my family, they'd go crazy.

  • Thanks. I'm starting to see what you mean. Whenever I finish a solo recital or whenever I finish choral rehearsal, girls come up to me and start saying things like "you have such a beautiful voice" or "OMG, your voice broke my heart." I love being a tenor:)

  • if you find any tenor today that sings like Del Monaco, please let me know. That's reason why today the opera is so boring. Art with no art. I miss the Del Monaco, Corelli, Di Stefano, etc.

  • Yeah, it's unfortunate that as we bring opera into stadiums etc... it becomes a freak show of vocal technique, not an artform. Even though it can reach larger audiences, the performers born of such an age don't know the greats of the past. However, there are good young singers. Piotr Beczala sings like the ghost of Bjorling, and Franco Tenelli, though he's not very young, is a GREAT dramatic tenor.

  • Dios  mio,esa interpretacion conmueve hasta el mas duro,que pena tan grande, tan gigantesca puede tener este hombre, que lo sentimos como propia,creo todo hombre que tuvo un desengaño se sentiria muy identificado,cuando te duele hasta el alma.

  • You can feel his pain, very few people can do that. How can one not cry while listening to him?

  • OMG O___O

  • Oh my goodness!

  • that...touched me.....llores....

  • THE BEST! Even better than other performances of this same piece he's done ...

  • Wow..Monaco..no wonder Bocelli was his fan. He's not just singing, but he acts! look at the laughter, usually it's a sad laughter, but he did a maniacal laughter that defines more sadness and depression..

  • you wont find a better interpretation of Vesti la Giubba. Monaco does it better than anyone else in the world.

  • I totally agree, he is the only one that can make me cry.

  • my favorite Pagliaccio, it's all about his interpretation, thruly impressive.

  • His voice is wonderful. His acting rivals the manic performance by Swedish tenor Bengt Nordfors, viewable elsewhere on youtube.
