if you like opera

here's a cover I did of Mozart's Deh, vieni alla finestra from DON GIOVANNI

Deh Vieni mp3


libretto and translation:

Deh, vieni alla finestra, o mio tesoro,.....................O come to the window, beloved;
Deh, vieni a consolar il pianto mio..........................O come and dispel all my sorrow!
Se neghi a me di dar qualche ristoro,....................If you refuse me some solace,
Davanti agli occhi tuoi morir vogl'io!........................Before you dear eyes I will die.
Tu ch'hai la bocca dolce più del miele,..................Your lips are sweeter than honey,
Tu che il zucchero porti in mezzo al core!...............Your heart is sweetness itself:
Non esser, gioia mia, con me crudele!..................Then be not cruel, my angel,
Lasciati almen veder, mio bell'amore!....................I beg for one glance, my beloved!

Wow. You are sooo talented, Ophelia.

holy shit! post more!

I usually don't like Opera, i find it annoying and it kinda hurts my ears. But i gotta say, Ophelia, you have a great, warm voice! I enjoyed it :thumbup:

Ahhhhh :D Got any Verdi or Wagner recordings? ^^

w00t, I love your opera songs :D *puts it in mp3 player*

OMG! I must be a homosexual I swear! I came here thinking you meant Oprah! But hey, good OPERA singers need talent... I haven't heard your music but, judging by the responses,,, your good! :D Edit: Oh and I would listen but, my computers sound is broken.... :( :cry:

awwwwww Ophelia that is beautiful. awwwwwwwwww :) That is so great! :) :) :) :)

Awesome. Simply awesome.

Thank you.

(By the way... I find your new avatar much easier on the eyes than your last one.)

Giving a whole new meaning to "...till the phat lady sings" :wink:

...yes, and so much easier to incorporate in that Ophelia as Playboy Bunny fantasy of mine :ohyahbaby:

Simply teriffic work! :D

Fantastic! What a beautiful voice! Do you have any more?

gwen: thanks for always taking the time to listen to my tunes :)

mongreloctopus: hah! now THAT'S a compliment :P

Unicorn: thanks, I try to make the operatic instrument a bit more easy on the ears than all those fat, screaming italians ;)

Wolffe: I have some Verdi, but they're just a dress rehearsal in a crappy hall and a crappy recording...I'll see if I can fix it a bit, but Verdi is some pretty heavy shit...nothing like the soft, warm billowiness of Mozart's vocal music

Bizz: :smitten:

BJ: fix the sound then omfgho

Tom: I <3 you

pj: grazie fellow artist...yeah I went for the less bloody avatar for several reasons ;)

Joe mio: yeah there aren't many librettos out there that stand out with the utmost literary merit, unless they were adapted from Shakespeare or someone like that...in fact, Bizet, who wrote Carmen, wrote another opera called The Pearl Fishers, which bombed because the story sucked ass..but there's a tenor aria and a duet from it that became pretty popular

Stalin: woohoo!! where you been hiding ho?

Ardent Lost: hey thanks, I have more opera, some of it is catalogued in my blog (gonna get more up soon)

*fixes sound* :o If you don't do this for a living then you must be like... CRAZY! You are good... very very very....very good.

Go to her blog and give a listen there...

I particularly recommend "Belong" - both the unadorned and orchestral versions.

If you have a big system, blast it. Bring kleenex.
