Summary:
The dark, daunting role of Lady Macbeth requires a great singing actress to bring to life everything Verdi--and Shakespeare--wrote. Shortly before this broadcast, the Viennese soprano Leonie Rysanek made her Met debut in the role--and right away became a legend. The intensity of her soaring soprano and her charismatic stage presence made her a beloved favorite of the New York audience for almost 40 years. With the great Verdi baritone Leonard Warren in the title role and Carlo Bergonzi and Jerome Hines also in the cast, this Macbeth is one for the ages.
Contents:
Prelude
Che faceste? Dite su!
Giorno non vidi mai sì fiero e bello!
Due vaticini compiuti or sono
S' allontanarono!
Nel dì della vittoria io le incontrai
Vieni! t'affretta!
Oh donna mia!
Sappia la sposa mia
Fatal mia donna!
Di destarlo per tempo il re m'impose
Schiudi, inferno, la bocca ed inghiotti
Perchè mi sfuggi
La luce langue
Chi v'impose unirvi a noi?
Studia il passo
Come dal ciel precipita
Salve, o Re!
Si colmi il calice di vibo eletto
Voi siete demente!
Sangue a me quell'ombra chiede
Tre volte miagola la gatta
Che fate voi, misteriose donne
Qual concento! Parlate!
Ove son io?
Patria oppressa!
O figli
Ah, la paterna mano
Dove siam? che bosco è quello?
Vegliammo invan due notti
Una macchia è qui tuttora
Perfidi! All' anglo contro me v'unite
Pietà, rispetto, amore
Ella è morta!
Mal per me che m'affidai
Vittoria! vittoria!
