*no video this time, audio only*

"Europa enters and makes a plea for her family's lives. She does not express her feelings for Isséo but rather tells him that her loyalties are to her family as a wife and mother. Europa offers to relinquish the throne of Tyre to Semele, in exchange for the lives of her husband and son. She further begs Isséo to no longer remember the love they once had -- as she herself has already forgotten -- and to become king by marrying Semele."

I posted only the second half of this scene
because I don't think that a lot of people would really like to listen to 4 minutes of secco recitative.

EUROPA
Addio: ti lascio,
e ti lascio per sempre!

ISSEO
Ah quanta, oh dèi!
Quanta beltà, quanta virtù perdei!

ISSEO
Perder l'oggetto amato
non sa qual pena sia
questa dell'alma mia
chi non intende appien.

EUROPA
Deh ti consola.

ISSEO
Oh pene!

EUROPA
Dividersi conviene.

ISSEO
Dividersi conviene.
Oh pene!

ISSEO
Pria che l'avverso fato
me dal mio ben divida;
ah del dolor m'uccida
il fiero eccesso almen.

Perder l'oggetto amato
non sa qual pena sia
questa dell'alma mia
chi non intende appien.

EUROPA
Prence, ti lascio.

ISSEO
Ah taci.

EUROPA
Gli affetti contumaci
meglio a frenare impara

ISSEO
Quanto virtù sì rara,
quanto mi costa, oh dio!


EUROPA
Lo so. Ma parti.
Che rio ~ tormento!
Ah che in lasciarti,
prence, mi sento
anch'io ~ già l'anima
sveller dal sen!

ISSEO
Per mio ~ tormento
lo sento ~ adesso,
che a te dappresso
pace non trovo,
che mille smanie
provo ~ nel sen.

  • By the way, this scene takes place immediatly before Europa sings her main aria.

    I thought some people would like to know that.

  • I might as well post that one later too.

    It quite a different experience to listen to the live audio. The version on video is better though, or so I think.
