Summary:
When this production opened, it had been more than half a century since Met audiences had last heard Bellini's gem of an opera. It was well worth the wait. "The best cast in the world," was how one critic described the legendary performers the Met brought together. The pair sent audiences into a frenzy with their sumptuous, dazzling singing. Joan Sutherland, dubbed "La Stupenda" by her fans and the press, is the hapless heroine Elvira who loses her heart--and her sanity--over Luciano Pavarotti, the Cavalier hero torn between love and duty.

Introduzione
All'erta! All'erta! Quando la tromba squilla
O di Cromvel guerrieri
A festa, a festa
Or dove fuggo io mai?
Ah! Per sempre io ti perdei
T'appellan le schiere
O amato zio
No, mai!
Sai com'arde in petto mio
Chi mosse a'miei desir
Odi, Qual suon si desta?
Ad Arturo o nore, ad Elvira o nore
A te, o cara, amor talora
Il rito augusto si compia senza me
Son vergin vezzosa
Sulla vergine a testa
Ferma, invan, invan rapir pretendi
Dov'è Arturo?
Oh vieni al tempio, fedele Arturo
Ma tu già mi fuggi?
Ah dolor! Ah terror!
Qual novella?
Cinta di fiori e col bel crin disciolto
E di morte lo stral non sarà lento
O rendetemi la speme
Qui la voce sora soave
Ah! tu soridi
Vien, diletto, è in ciel la luna
Il rival salvar tu dèi
Se tra il buio un fantasma vedrai
Suoni la tromba, e intrepido
Preludio
Son salvo, alfin son salvo ; .A una fonte afflito e solo
Corre a valle, corre a morte
Fini
Arturo? Sì, è desso!
Vieni fra queste braccia
Ancor s'ascolta
Arturo? Arturo?
Cavalier ti colse il Dio
Credeasi, misera!
Suon d'araldi?
