Cruda sorte! from L’italiana in AlgeriGioacchio Rossini (1792-1868)“Cruda sorte! Amor tiranno!” (Cruel fate! Tyrannical Cupid!) What’s a girl to do?

Hai giá vinta la causa from The Marriage of FigaroWolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791)Social grumbles, class conflicts and comedy are some of the words used to describeThe Marriage of Figaro. Throughout the opera, Figaro orchestrates several “stunts” toout maneuver his aristocratic counterparts. In this aria, an enraged Count Almavivaresponds to a boastful conversation overheard between Figaro and his fiancéeSusanna who plot to outwit the count. Listen how the orchestra adds to the count’sanger with emphasized dotted rhythms and tremolos in the accompanied recitative,Hai gia vinta la causa!, and the intensity of rapid-scale lines and trills in the “vengeance

aria” to follow, Vedro mentr’io sospiro.

article by Paul Zweifel, The Three Progenitors of Figaro:http://goo.gl/DCiemS

O süsser mond from The Merry Wives of WindsorOtto Nicolai (1810-1849)Based on the Shakespearean play, this German opera is a singspiel meaning it containsspoken dialogue with musical numbers. The comedy follows the buffoonish character,Falstaff, as he attempts to woo simultaneously two different married women who thenconspire to make him into a bigger fool. In the penultimate scene, we see the curtainrise to reveal a masked ball in the garden. While admiring the loveliness of the evening,the party guests sing O süsser mond, “O Silver Moon.” When Falstaff is led into thescene, he first believes the masked guests to be elves, ghosts and insects. The sound ofthis chorus magically captures the beauty and mystery of the night.

Je veux vivre (Juliet’s Waltz) from Roméo et JulietteCharles Gounod (1818-1893)Juliette wants nothing more than to be free and embrace the world. Intoxicated by heryouth, she burns with excitement and life inthis aria --- Ah! Douce flamme! Reste dansmon âme comme un doux trésor longtemps encore. Perhaps the sweet flame within hersoul burns too quick, for in the opera we see Juliette grow from a child into a youngwoman overnight as her crosses paths with her one true love.

Che gelida manina from La bohèmeGiacomo Puccini (1858-1924)“Would you light my candle?” The poet Rodolfo lives la vie bohème in Paris when ayoung woman knocks at his door on a cold light looking for a match to light her candle.When the candle extinguishes, Rodolfo’s candle also goes out leaving the couple in adark, cold room together. The young poet grabs her hand and sings Che gelinda manina(“what a cold little hand”). Love is in the air as he learns her name, Mimi.

O nuit divine (Balcony Scene) from Roméo et JulietteCharles Gounod (1818-1893)In the night Roméo stands outside Juliette’s balcony looking for his beloved.Accompanying the star-crossed lovers is the orchestra. Listen for beautiful, longmelodic lines and the harp conveying pure love. Harmonies descend chromatically as

the couple exchange dialogue under the stars. Listen for Gounod’s orchestration anduse of holds and ritenuto as the musical conventions paint this passionate scene ofgive-and-take in the lover’s synchronicity. The scene ends with a pledge to marry thenext day.

“Anvil Chorus” from Il trovatoreGiuseppe Verdi (1813–1901)The single “glowing” moment in a dark story of death and deceit, Act II, Scene 1 or AnvilChorus, literally melts the clouds away to reveal the dawn shining on a chorus ofSpanish gypsies singing of hard work, good wine and gypsy women. “Lift up yourhammers!”

Caro nome from RigolettoGiuseppe Verdi (1813–1901)Sung by Rigoletto’s daughter Gilda, you can hear her heart flutter in light coloraturaflourishes with orchestral trills. Enamored by a young man she met at church, shesings, “My desire will fly to you on the wings of thought and my last breath will beyours, my beloved.”

Pourquoi me réveiller from WertherJules Massenet (1842-1912)Werther loosely follows Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s epistolary novel, The Sorrows ofYoung Werther. In this aria, the lovesick, young poet Werther arrives at the home of hislove Charlotte who has married another. He picks up a book of Ossian poetry that theyonce shared and begins to read, “Pourquoi me réveiller.” He looks at the anxiousCharlotte, they embrace and she runs from the room knowing they may never betogether.

“Waltz” from Eugene OneginPeter Ilyich Tchaikovsky (1840-1893)At the beginning of Eugene Onegin’s Act II, the curtain rises to reveal a party celebratingTatiana’s birthday. With joyous dancing and merriment abound, the guests tout howlovely and excited they are to partake in such an affair. “Bravo, bravo, bravo, bravo, asplendid surprise for us all!”

The opera is based on a novel in verse written by Alexander Pushkin. To read an

Il core vi dono from Così fan tutteWolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791)Do you love me? Do you not? Cosi fan tutte is the story of two couples, a mischievousmaid and a wager. Engaged to Dorabella and Fiordiligi, soldiers Ferrando andGuglielemo enter in a wager with Don Alfonso who claims there is no such thing as afaithful woman. Accepting the challenge, the soldiers fake a “call to duty” only to return,in disguise as two mustached Albanians. They each attempt to woo the other’s fiancéeto prove their loyalty. “Il core vi dono” is a duet involving Dorabella and the disguisedGuglielemo where he successfully woos the young maiden, exchanging a heart-shapednecklace for a medallion with her fiancé’s picture enclosed.

Stride la vampa from Il trovatoreGiuseppe Verdi (1813–1901)On the slopes of a mountain in Biscay the sun is rising. Gypsies sing of hard work, goodwine and gypsy women in the famous Anvil Chorus, and immediately following,Azucena, an old gypsy woman, sings the vengeance aria, “Strida la vampa,” vowing toavenge her mother’s death who was burned at the stake at the hands of the Count. Tomake matters worse, as her mother burned at the stake, Azucena in her rageaccidently throws her own child into the fire. Vengeance seems to be a recurring themein opera from The Queen of the Night in Magic Flute to Count Almaviva in The Marriageof Figaro and Azucena’s “Stride la vampa” in Il trovatore.
