Scott Piper talks about Canio and Mo Coppola
For tenor Scott Piper, it is going to be a special moment Friday when he cakes his face with greasepaint and sings the famous tears-of-a-clown aria, Vesti la giubba, in Pagliacci.
Piper is making his debut in the role of Canio with Opera Tampa’s production of the Leoncavallo opera, with conductor Anton Coppola in the orchestra pit.
“Nothing is ever going to replace opening night for me, and particularly that aria,” Piper said last week after an afternoon rehearsal. “To be able to finally have the opportunity to sing that aria fora live audience in performance with a musician like maestro Coppola in the pit. That’s absolutely going to be one of the highlights of my career.”
