Let's start this week off with a beloved classic, a short but outstanding opera which is certainly one of my top 5 favorites. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think we've had a Pagliacci in this sub before. So that's even better.

Ruggero Leoncavallo wrote a total of 10 operas and 10 operettas, but only Pagliacci ever became popular. After seeing the success of Mascagani's Cavalleria Rusticana, which will be featured later this week, he rushed to produce his own verrisimo work. Pagliacci received wide acclaim and went on to become one of the most widely performed operas in the standard repertory. Canio's show-stopping (heh) aria "Vesti la Giubba" has become one of the most popular opera arias, and with good reason. Besides being a composer, Leoncavallo was also a skilled librettist, and he wrote the libretto of Pagliacci himself. Apparently, he based the story on a murder trial over which his father, a judge, once presided.

There are so many great productions of Pagliacci that it was very hard to choose one. But I decided to go with the performance that introduced me to the opera and which I keep going back to again and again. I love this production, with its quaint looking staging and the amazing cast. Patricia Racette is an underrated soprano in my opinion. She is probably my favorite Nedda, and George Gagnidze is my favorite Tonio. The acting in this production is stellar.

Irrelevant rant time: I really wish Silvio could go to the big name Baritones sometimes. I get it, it's a small role, he really only gets that one duet, Tonio is more of a challenge, blah blah. But honestly- that duet is one of the most beautiful and passionate love duets ever. It's just bursting with emotion. And you never get to see it in production, sung by a star Bari. Not that some of the more unknown guys who get cast in minor roles aren't amazing singers. That's not what I'm trying to say. It's just that I wish we could have a Silvio like THIS in a full-scale production. There's good singing, and then there's legendary singing. And we rarely get to hear legendary singing for Silvio's part of the duet.

Die Tragödie des Clowns.

„Tu se´ Paglaccio“, - sagst selbst der Pagliaccio, während er weint. Dieses Stück der Oper ist weltweit berühmt. Sie wurde bei vielen Tenöre gesungen. Luciano Pavarotti, Placido Domingo, Jonas Kaufmann haben Paglaccios Rolle gespielt. Die Oper „Pagliaccio“ von Ruggero Leoncavallo war im Jahr 1892 geschrieben. Die Geschichte der Clown (namens Canio) ist die Tragödie der Liebe und des Lebens. Der zentrale Teil der Geschichte ist die Gefühle des Clowns, dessen Herz gebrochen wurde. Aber für das Publikum ist er nur ein Clown, der immer lachen muss und sie zum Lachen bringt.

Die Geschichte findet im Süden Italiens statt. Die Truppe des Zirkus kommt im Dorf, wo sie eine Aufführung haben. Canio spielt die Rolle eines Clowns (Paglaccio) und seine Ehefrau namens Nedda spielt im Theaterstück.

Vor der Aufführung bemerkt Canio, dass seine Frau mit einem anderen flirtet. Er wird eifersüchtig. Die Dorfbewohner necken Canio, sie sagen, dass seine Frau in anderen verschießen hat. Canio warnt die Dorfbewohner, obwohl er einen Pagliacci spielt, wird er nicht eine Affäre seiner Ehefrau mit einem der Männer aus dem Dorf zulassen (tolerieren). Nachdem gingCanio mit seinen Freund Beppe in eine Taverne und lässt seine Frau allein.

Während Canio in der Taverne war, traf Nedda mit ihrem Liebhaber.

Canio weiß, dass seine Frau hat ihn betrogen. Aber es ist die Zeit der Aufführung. Canio muss sich, wie einen Clown, einen Pagliacci kostümieren, aber es ist zu schmerzlich für ihn. Sein Herz ist gebrochen.

Er kommt auf die Bühne und beginnt sein Stück. Während der Aufführung kann er seine Gefühle nicht behalten. Anstelle des Texts, den er auf der Bühne sagen soll, beginnt er seine Frau zu beschuldigen und nach dem Namen des Liebhabers zu fragen. Das Publikum sind schockiert, sie haben noch nie so eine emotionale Aufführung gesehen. Nedda versucht, Canio zurück zur Rolle, zu bringen, aber er sagst dazu nur:

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

The doctor says it terminal.

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB

Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"

I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual

So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes

How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?

Mathematical puns makes me number

We told her she can lean on us for support. Although, we are going to have to change her driver's license, her height is going down by a foot. I don't want to go too far out on a limb here but it better not be a hack job.

Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.

But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.

They were cooked in Greece.

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

Now that I listen to albums, I hardly ever leave the house.

Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"

Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"

Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

And now I’m cannelloni

Because she wanted to see the task manager.

But that’s comparing apples to oranges

And boy are my arms legs.

Put it on my bill

Heard they've been doing some shady business.

but then I remembered it was ground this morning.

Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale

Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments

They’re on standbi

A play on words.

Calcium, nickel, neon
