Nicola Conforto (1718-1788?)

La festa cinese (1751)
Azione teatrale

Libretto: Pietro Metastasio (Le cinesi)

Lisinga's aria

Ferma crudele,
ferma: verrò. Quell'innocente sangue
non si versi per me. Ceneri amate
dell'illustre mio sposo, e sarà vero,
ch'io vi manchi di fé! Ch'io stringa...Oh dio,
Pirro pietà! Che gran trionfo è mai
al vincitor di Troia
d'un fanciullo la morte? E quale amore
può destarti nell'alma una infelice,
giuoco della fortuna, odio de' numi?
Lascia, lasciaci in pace. Io tene priego
per l'ombra generosa
del tuo gran genitor. Per quella mano,
che fa l'Asia tremar: per questi rivi
d'amaro pianto... Ah le querele altrui
l'empio non ode.
No, d'ottenermi mai,
barbaro non sperar:
mora Astianatte,
Andromaca perisca;
ma Pirro in van, fra gli empi suoi desiri,
e di rabbia, e d'amor frema, e deliri.

Prenditi il figlio... Ah no!
È troppa crudeltà.
Eccomi Oh dèi, che fo?
Pietà, consiglio.

Che barbaro dolor!
L'empio dimanda amor,
lo sposo fedeltà,
soccorso il figlio.

  • OK, this video has received 4 ratings in total including two 1 star ratings. What the **** is going on here? That would sort of make it the worst video I've ever posted (out of 300+) which it most certainly isn't. Next lunatic should give me a short explanation before pressing the rating button.

  • @Thrax1982 This is wonderful certainly, I will upload the recording Marta Almajano made of this aria on studio 6 years earlier :)

  • @thebarroque

    :)

    PS

    I don't even watch the ratings of my videos anymore, too much anger and frustration.
