Ah que l'amour! Maija Kovalevska Benvenuto Cellini

Benvenuto Cellini
Hector Berlioz

TERESA
(seule. Parmi les fleurs qu'on vient
de lui jeter elle ramasse un bouquet)
Les belles fleurs!... Un billet... Cellini!
Quelle imprudence...

(Elle lit)

Eh quoi! venir ici?
Ce soir même...
Ah! grand Dieu! mais mon père
Est bien loin, et l'instant est propice... Que faire?

Romance

Ah! que l'amour une fois dans le cœur
A de peine à quitter son asile!
Comme il y tient! et qu'il est difficile
D'en déloger cet obstiné vainqueur!
En vain les jeux, la danse, la parure,
Pour le chasser combattent follement;
L'amour lui-même, oubliant sa capture,
En vain s'envole et s'éloigne un moment!
Ah! ce n'est qu'un moment,
Non, ce n'est qu'un moment!
Comme l'oiseau retourne à la douce verdure,
Amour revient toujours au cœur aimant!
Heureuse celle à qui jamais l'amour
N'a fait sentir les ardeurs de sa flamme.
Simple et naïve, elle ignore le blâme,
Et ce qu'on paye une ivresse d'un jour!
Souvent la main du devoir est bien dure,
Il ferme l'âme au tendre sentiment.
Et devant lui l'amour fuit sans murmure,
Mais le devoir, s'il triomphe un moment,
Ah! ce n'est qu'un moment, etc.

I as well saw Ms. Kovalevska perform Liu in Turandot with the WNO at the final performance last night where she absolutely blew everyone away. The effortlessness and beauty with which she sings is truly remarkable! What a talent!

I saw Maija K as Liu in Turandot at the Washington National Opera last night. Superb performance! She stole the show!

We did indeed hear Maija sing Mimi at the San Francisco opera house. Regrettably, she was not in good voice that day. Rodolpho was to be sung by Jose Calleja, who cancelled due to illness. Perhaps the last minute tenor who filled in did not inspire Maija to sing her best. Nonetheless, I would still enjoy hearing her sing again.

[mariahelleberg]

she can act with her voice, bravo maija!

I saw Maija Kovalevska last night, singing Mimi at the New York Metropolitan. I'm not a critic but I was very impressed, not only by her voice, but with the emotional intelligence with which she sang. She conveyed so many colours, reducing me to tears in her first aria! The most impressive Mimi I have ever heard live.
