🎭💔 On this day in Milan in 1892, Leoncavallo's Pagliacci was premiered under Toscanini's baton. Since we just celebrated Cavalleria Rusticana, let's conclude the "Cav and Pag" double bill of anniversaries with the ultimate verismo-style aria, "Vesti la giubba", sung by a moving José Cura as the heartbroken clown Canio. 🎭💔 https://cutt.ly/86VPu7D | medici.tv
