Today we’re listening to…“Sul fil d’um soffio etesio” Nannetta’s aria from Act III of the Italian opera Falstaff by Giuseppe Verdi. As I mentioned on Monday, this is Mirella Freni week, so we are hear her again here. The beauty of Freni’s voice and her charm and sincerity come through here.
Saw the Welsh National Opera bring their FALSTAFF to BAM about 10 years. Complex and beautiful from Arrigo Boito's masterful libretto to Verdi as Falstaff, and Falstaff from Verdi to us. While living in Milan I made a pilgrimage to his grave outside the Home for retired Opera singers in Milan.
Thanks for sharing
