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
