Irina Arkhipova Lyubasha's Aria Act II Tsar's Bride
Magnificent Arkhipova, one of the great mezzos of the 20th c, sings Lyubasha's desperate aria in which she expresses her anguish over having to sell herself to the disgusting physician Bomelius, in exchange for a magic potion that will destroy her rival's beauty. A chorus of Oprichniks enter at the end, in a drunken celebration.
Oi, a pochemu kartinka Obraztsovoi da esche v Khovanschine?
