from Act III of the Italian opera, La Bohème by Giacomo Puccini
Libretto : Giuseppe Giacosa and Luigi Illica

Voice Part : soprano
Fach : lyric soprano
Setting : The barrière d'Enfer, on the outskirts of Paris
Synopsis : Rodolfo and Mimi have had a fight, Rodolfo saying that Mimi has been flirting with other men. However, the real reason he wants to separate from Mimi is because she is very sick and he cannot bear to watch her die. He reveals this to Marcello, but Mimi overhears him and, after Marcello leaves, she comes out to him and asks him to return all of her possessions to her former room.
Donde lieta uscì
Whence happy leaving
al tuo grido d'amore,
To your cry of love,
torna sola Mimì
Returns alone Mimi
al solitario nido.
To solitary nest.
Ritorna un'altra volta
Returns another time
a intesser finti fior.
To weave together false flowers.
Addio, senza rancor.
Goodbye, without resentment.
Ascolta, ascolta.
Listen, listen.
Le poche robe aduna
The little things gather
che lasciai sparse.
That I have left scattered about
Nel mio cassetto
In my drawer
stan chiusi quel cerchietto d'or
Are enclosed that gold band
e il libro di preghiere.
And a book of prayers.
Involgi tutto quanto in un grembiale
Wrap everything much in a smock
e manderò il portiere...
And I will send the concierge...
Bada, sotto il guanciale
Pay attention, on the pillow
c'è la cuffietta rosa.
There is a pink bonnet
Se vuoi serbarla a ricordo d'amor!
If you want, keep a memory of love!
Addio, senza rancor.
Goodbye, without resentment.

Maria Callas La Bohème Sì. Mi chiamano Mimìby scyliorhinus6,527 views
It is said that Callas couldn't stand poor little Mimi so she never sang the role onstage. Listening to this recording, one wonders how she would have sounded if she had LIKED poor little Mimi. Again, a magic Callas moment as she completely wipes out the competition! CALLAS RULES ABSOLUTELY!

The greatest Norma, Medea, restorer of the Dramatic Lucia, perfect Elena- Vespri , the incomparable Violetta sings this simple Mimi with such style and polish I will never be able to stand to hear if sung by the Mimi specialists again!!!! I guess that is what a true Soprano sfogato is supposed to do.
