No word from Tom/I go to him, from The Rake's Progress by Stravinsky
Performed by Diana Daniel
Tom Rakewell has left the countryside and his beloved Anne to seek adventure in London in the company of Nick Shadow, the devil in disguise. Anne has not heard from Tom since his departure and worries he might have been led astray (at this point in the opera he is in fact being initiated in a brothel). In this aria, Anne decides to run away from her father's home and go to the city herself to reclaim Tom's love and save him from ruining his life.
