Sena Jurinac, "Dich, teure Halle", Wagner: Tannhäuser (Live, La Scala, 1967)

The great Croatian soprano Sena Jurinac as Elisabeth in Wagner's Tannhäuser. She is featured here in Elisabeth's greetings to the Hall of Song that opens Act 2 of the opera. This comes from a live performance in April 1967 at the Teatro alla Scala, Milano, conducted by Wolfgang Sawallisch.

The English translation of the sung text comes from Wagner net (www.rwagner.net):

Dear hall, I greet thee once again,
joyfully I greet thee, beloved place!
In thee his lays awake
and waken me from gloomy dreams.
When he departed from thee,
how desolate thou didst appear to me!
Peace forsook me,
joy took leave of thee.
How strongly now my heart is leaping;
to me now thou dost appear exalted and sublime.
He who thus revives both me and thee,
tarries afar no more.
I greet thee!
I greet thee!
Thou precious hall,
receive my greeting!

A stunning performance of this beloved soprano whose musicality was interwoven with her clear concept of character, vocally secure and resplendent. Thank you, Tim for this post. George
