In a beautiful performance, the clown pictures his own funeral taking place in a carnival atmosphere. He’s watched over by quietly caring angels. Corteo highlights the strength and fragility of the clown, as well as his wisdom and kindness. It illustrates the portion of humanity that is within each of us. The music turns lyrical and playful carrying Corteo through a timeless celebration in which illusion teases reality.
