Dove sono - Kiri Te Kanawa

Dame Kiri Te Kanawa sings Dove sono from "Le nozze di Figaro", The Marriage of Figaro (Day of Madness).

∞∞∞
Dove sono i bei momenti
Di dolcezza e di piacer?
Dove andaro i giuramenti
Di quel labbro menzogner?

Perchè mai, se in pianti e in pene
Per me tutto si cangiò,
La memoria di quel bene
Dal mio sen non trapassò?

Ah! se almen la mia costanza,
Nel languire amando ognor,
Mi portasse una speranza
Di cangiar l'ingrato cor!

∞∞∞
Where are the lovely moments
Of sweetness and pleasure?
Where have the promises gone
That came from his lying lips?

Why, if all is changed for me
Into tears and pain,
That the good memories
Will not leave my heart?

Ah!, at least my faithfulness,
Which still loves amidst its suffering,
Could bring me some hope
Of changing his ungrateful heart!

I love how she always turns to the orchestra or concertmaster after each song and thanks them as well, not just the conductor. You don't see many singers doing that anymore. Most of them only do so at the end of a section of the programme, or at the end of the whole thing.
