Hello, friends! Welcome to a week of Opera here at Musica in Extenso. I’m going to count on my colleagues to bring you the romantic and contemporary opera you’re waiting for so that I may indulge myself in the baroque opera that owns my soul.

While I can’t quite find my perfect interpretation of this aria, “Addio, Corindo,” from Antonio Cesti’s gorgeously weird opera Orontea, this recording from René Jacobs’s production featuring the sparkling Isabelle Poulenard as Silandra comes pretty close. Here, the courtesan Silandra, having fallen in love with the visiting stranger Alidoro, bids farewell in her heart to her old flame, Corindo as she welcomes her new love. And the whole thing is so haunting and beautiful, we’re totally with her... until Corindo (David James) enters, believing his love has called for him. This opera is full of cringe-worthy moments like this, delivering beauty, comedy, and pain in equal parts.

I look forward to seeing what my cohorts share this week! Stay tuned! - Melinda Beasi

"Intorno all'idol mio"  Marco Antonio Cesti (1620 - 1669?) Dame Janet Baker

Intorno all'idol mio spirate pur, spirate, Aure, Aure soavi e grate, E nelle guancie elette Baciatelo per me, Cortesi, cortesi aurette!

Al mio ben, che riposa Su l'ali della quiete, Grati, grati sogni assistete E il mio racchiuso ardore Svelate gli per me, O larve, o larve d'amore! *

Around my idol Breathe, merely breathe, Winds sweet and gracious And on the favored cheeks Kiss him for me, courtly breezes!

In my love who rests On the wings of peace Pleasant dreams provoke. And my hidden ardor Reveal to him for me O spirits of love.

ugh

i realized recently that the piece i was using for my Italian art song, which I just memorized this week, is actually from the opera Orontea.  read: it is not actually an art song.  fook.  that means i have to use the only italian art song i've ever sung (excluding ones from the 24 italian songs and arias book) which is Donaudy and it is stupid and i sang it six years ago.  wah.
