Summary:
Just as a young woman is about to marry her sweetheart, she is discovered--by the entire village, to say nothing of her fiancé--asleep in the bedroom of a stranger. It takes the young man two acts to figure out that sleepwalking is to blame, and everything ends happily. Natalie Dessay as Amina and Juan Diego Flórez as Elvino deliver bel canto magic and vocal fireworks in Mary Zimmerman's 2009 production. The Tony award-winning director transfers Bellini's bucolic tale to a rehearsal room in contemporary New York, where an opera company rehearses La Sonnambula--and where the singers are truly in love with each other

Opening credits and introduction Viva! Viva Amina! Tutto è gioia, tutto è festa Care compagne
Come per me sereno Sempre, o felice Amina
Sovra il sen la man mi posa Io più di tutti, o Amina Prendi: l'anel ti dono Scritti nel ciel già sono
Ah! vorrei trovar parole Domani, appena aggiorni Vi ravviso
Tu non sai con quei begli occhi Contezza del paese
A fosco cielo Basta così. Elvino! E me tu lasci Son geloso del zefiro errante Davver, non mi dispiace Che veggio? Oh ciel! che tento? Osservate: L'uscio è aperto È menzogna D'un pensiero e d'un accento Non più nozze Interview with Natalie Dessay and Juan Diego Flórez Qui la selva è più folta ed ombrosa Reggimi, o buona madre Vedi, o madre Viva il Conte!
Ah! perché non posso odiarti Lasciami
De' lieti auguri a voi son grata E fia pur vero, Elvino
Signor Conte, agli occhi miei Lisa! mendace anch'essa! Signor? che creder deggio? Oh! se una volta sola Ah! non credea mirarti No, più non reggo Ah! non giunge uman pensiero Bows and closing credits
