Summary:
This performance showcases Luciano Pavarotti at his magnificent best. The role of good hearted Nemorino might have been written just for him. Hopelessly in love with wealthy Adina (Kathleen Battle), Nemorino watches, helpless, as flashy Sergeant Belcore (Gino Quilico) seems to win her heart. Enter Dr. Dulcamara (Paul Plishka). He's a quack, but Nemorino believes that the love potion Dulcamara is peddling will help him win Adina's love. It's only a bottle of plain old Bordeaux, but never underestimate the power of true love -- or of Luciano Pavarotti's seductive tenor.
Contents:
Preludio (Prelude)
Bel conforto al mietitore
Quanto è bella, quanto è cara!
Benedette queste carte!
Della crudele Isotta
Marziale
Come Paride vezzoso
Or se m'ami, come io t'amo
Intanto, o mia ragazza
Una parola, o Adina
Chiedi all'aura lusingheira
Che vuol dire codesta suonata?
Udite, udite, o rustici
Ardir! Ha forse il cielo mandato
Voglio dire, lo stupendo elisir
Caro elisir! Sei moi!
Esulti pur la barbara
Tran, tran, tran. In guerra ed in amor
Signor sargente, di voi richiede la vostra gente
Adina credimi, te ne scongiuro
Andiam, Belcore
Cantiamo, facciam brindisi
Piochè cantar vi alletta
Io son ricco e tu sei bella-Silenzio! È qua il Notaro
Le feste nuziali
La donna è un animale stravagante - Venti scudi!
"Ai perigli, della guerra
Qua la mano, giovinotto"
Saria possibile
Dell'elisir mirabile
Io già m'immagino che cosa brami
Come sen va contento!
Quanto amore! Ed io, speitata!
Una furtiva lagrima
Eccola. Oh! Qual le accresce beltà
Prendi, per me sei libero
Alto! fronte!
Ei corregge ogni difetto.
