Joining me are soprano Rachel Willis-Sørensen, the Augsburger Philharmoniker and conductor Jochen Rieder for this festive summer evening that I am looking forward to sharing with all of you! 🎥: Sat 3 at the Salzburger Festspiele | Jonas Kaufmann

La pieza a la que te refieres es Vesti la giubba, el aria más célebre de la ópera Pagliacci, interpretada magistralmente por Luciano Pavarotti. Es el momento en el que el payaso, destrozado por dentro, debe salir a escena y hacer reír. La frase clave es: “Ridi, Pagliaccio” —“Ríe, payaso”—, símbolo universal de la dignidad forzada ante el dolor. | Caminando con Carlos Lozano Parra
