Dopo notte - Joyce DiDonato LIVE - Furore, Salzburg - Handel

Salzburg, 2nd August 2009 The very last Furore concert, I’m afraid. Joyce DiDonato stepped in (with broken leg) for Rolando Villazon who had health problems. It was thus the only concert with Paul McCreesh conducting instead of Christophe Rousset. From G.F. Handel: Ariodante, 1734 Aria of ARIODANTE ************ Dopo notte, atra e funesta, splende in Ciel più vago il sole, e di gioia empie la terra. Mentre in orrida tempesta il mio legno è quasi assorto, giunge in porto, e’l lido afferra. ************ After black and gloomy night the sun shines more radiantly in the sky and fills the earth with joy. Whereas in the fearful tempest my barque was almost enguelfed, now it has entered harbour and reached the shore. ************ All arias from this concert - Desterò dall’empia dite - Scherza infida - Ombra mai fu - Dopo notte
