It was in 1994 when I first learned of Richard Tucker and this Aria.. he is still the best performer... Not just the voice but the acting and emotions... The best "Vesti la Giubba"... So glad that we watch this once in a while.

When you saw and heard him in the opera house, as I did many times, his Voice sounded even bigger and more "Spinto large" then his commercial studio recordings, and unlike some tenors who on their studio recordings sound larger then they really where, Tucker was live in the opera house, a very large rich and powerful spinto tenor, who sounded even more powerful then the recordings, he sang with fine emotion and was a very great American born tenor, among the best in the world,------ RIP,. Richard Tucker. (1913-1975.)

Richard Tucker was another incredible tenor, and I thank you very much for posting him! I hope you will also post his 1961 appearance in which he sang "Nessun Dorma" and a 1954 appearance where he sang an Italian aria (looking at the episode guide I have).

This is NOT 'Vesti La Giubba'. He is singing a medley, the first thing he sings is the SECOND half of the aria 'No Pagliaccio Non Son' that starts with the line 'Sperai, tanto il delirio'. Then once he moves to the chair, he then sings the aria 'Vesti La Giubba' complete.

A sensational Canio and in 1970 and later in his last few years, he sang it often in the opera house, his last one in Nov. 1974 at the Met. opera, was just weeks before he died at age 61. there is an actual video from the complete performance on you tube of the "Vesti la Giubba " aria, RIP.

Too bad you couldn't save the roar of the audience at the end. If I remember correctly about that 1969 show, the audience went wild, with applause and shouts of "Bravo!" that continued for awhile, even after Tucker left the stage.

It's the second part of "No Pagliaco non son" from the play within the play when he finally erupts at Nedda. Moments after this, she basically seals her own fate and after that, well it's "La commedia e finita" time. It's a weird bit of transposition as this comes much later in the opera than "Vesti la giubba" but the musical arrangers on the Sullivan show did some truly bizarre stuff, including adding a snare drum to the orchestration of "Largo al Factotum" one evening when Robert Merrill was on the show! I'm always impressed by Tucker's intensity in this. Many of his colleagues walked through their TV appearances but he throws himself into the music.
