Farewell to Pavarotti


E LUCEVAN LE STELLE

* Tosca *
( written by Giacomo Puccini )


E lucevan le stelle ... And the stars were shining ...
ed olezzava la terra ... the earth smelt sweet ...
stridea l'uscio dell'orto ... the garden gate creaked ..
e un passo sfiorava la rena... and a footstep brushed the sand.
Entrava ella, fragrante, She entered, fragrant,
mi cadea fra le braccia. and fell into my arms.
Oh! dolce baci, o languide carezze, O soft kisses, tender caresses,
mentr'io fremente, while I, all a-quiver,
le belle forme disciogliea dai veli! unveiled her lovely features!
Svani per sempre il sogno mio d'amore ... Vanished forever is my dream of love ...
L'ora e fuggita, That time has fled
e muoio disperato! and I die in despair.
E non ho amato mai tanto la vita! Never have I loved life so dearly!

u should like his solo performances.. not because sting is standing right beside him ;)

i have a bad experience with Opera.

when i was in Verona, we booked for Opera Ieda in their open emphi theatre. it was great and i was drown .. and the crown is just HUGE.. until the seen before the last one, where we began to hear thunder every now and then echoing the strong voices .. we didn't really took it seriously and said it just won't happen..

brrom, wil musician GABBAA
