Summary:
Few sopranos have tackled the extraordinarily difficult role of Elvira in Bellini's last opera at the Met. In this remarkable performance, the great Edita Gruberova sails through the vocal challenges, pulling off her trademark coloratura stunts and caressing Bellini's long, languid phrases with equal ease. She creates a poignant, very human portrait of a young woman who goes insane when she loses the man she loves, only to be restored when he returns. Chris Merritt is Arturo, the object of her affection.

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 soa 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?
