Pagliacci



The Lego recreation below echoes (palely) my memory of Placido Domingo singing Pagliacci at the Dorothy Chandler Pavillion in Los Angeles in the 1990s. He sang in front of his caravan, dressed as a clown, with a heartbreaking aria of pain and betrayal.

Martha

This was one of the operas broadcast on April 2, 2010. You can listen to the recording here. You can read about the opera here. Below is my lego rendition of Martha and Julia complaining about their work on the farm, as the brothers Plunkett and Lyonel look on. I was glad to be able to use my lego cattle in an opera.
