"Ridi, Pagliaccio..." (Vesti la giubba)

Ok, so this makes me sob every time.  I don't actually cry...I just make the same sounds as the tenor makes in the last, "il cor." It is beautiful and tragic and straight-up operatic.  Canio has found out that his love, Nedda has done what her character does every night on stage: fallen in love with another man. He must, however, go onstage, play the clown and laugh (ridi).  If you have heartstrings and you like them to be pulled then watch.
