Virginia Zeani sings the Countess Adele's aria in Rossini's delicious opera of intrigue and cross dressing. Left behind in her castle while her brother is away at the Crusades she is feeling melancholy and decides to visit a newly arrived hermit for advice. He is really her would be suitor, the dissolute Count Ory, in disguise. She cheers up no end when he tells her that her only cure is to fall in love, and sings a perky cabaletta.

  • Zeani floats from Rossini to Puccini to Verdi as a butterfly visits all the flowers, bringing the beauty from each.

    Such a lovely, expressive voice, and matchless technique. Rich, dark timbre with total uniformity from top to bottom. Superb actress, with taste and interpretive skills to spare!

    Thank's for this beautiful posting to our talented CharlotteinWeimar!

    Brava, cara Diva! Brava, Virginia! You bring much joy to so many! Grazie!

  • Madame Zeani is truly amazing. We have had the distinct pleasure of meeting her recently, and although she is retired and does not sing in public any longer, believe me her voice is still superb. My daughter had the honor of being in her Master Class a few months ago and had a few private coachings from her after. We feel as if we have met royalty. Thanks to anyone who has posted Madame Zeani's arias to YouTube. Her contributions to Opera should always be remembered.

  • Thanks so, so, so much!!! Is there any list available of all Zeani's pirates? I am really eager to listen to EVERYTHING this genius of Bel Canto sung.

  • Oh, c'est un plaisir d'ecouter! Grand merci!

  • She's wonderful here!!! I hope you enjoy my video response! Best wishes.
