- Summary:
- Bellini's last opera, set during the time of the English Civil War, is a glorious treasure of melody. Ruth Ann Swenson is Elvira, the lovely Puritan heroine who goes mad when she thinks she has been jilted by her lover, Arturo (Stuart Neill). But he has only been doing his duty as a Cavalier in saving his queen, the widow of King Charles I, from the death sentence imposed by the Puritans. His good deed, and his love for Elvira, condemn him to be executed--a fate from which he is spared by a general amnesty. The shock of joy restores Elvira's sanity and it all ends happily. Thomas Hampson is Riccardo, Arturo's political enemy and rival for Elvira's 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?
