Renee Fleming

This is from Marta, Act 2: Last Rose of Summer, 1847.  It's beautiful.  "Letzte Rose (The Last Rose of Summer)" (Qui sola vergin rosa) (Harriet, later with Lyonel). 


There are 8 notable pieces from the opera, Marta.

Noted arias, duets, ensembles

  • "Ach! so fromm, ach! so traut (M'apparì tutt'amor," (Lyonel)  "Ah! so pious, ah! so daring (M'apparì tutt'amor)" (Lyonel)
  • "Blickt sein Aug" (Harriet and Lyonel).  "Behold his eye."
  • "Lasst mich euch fragen (Porter-Lied)" Drinking Song (Plunkett)
  • "Letzte Rose (The Last Rose of Summer)" (Qui sola vergin rosa) (Harriet, later with Lyonel)
  • "Mag der Himmel Euch vergeben" (Lyonel's Prayer)
  • "Schlafe wohl! Und mag Dich reuen" (Good Night Quartet)
  • "Was soll ich dazu sagen?" (Spinning-Wheel Quartet)
  • "Povero Lionello... Il mio Lionel" (Added by Flotow for baritone Graziani's Plunkett, solely in the Italian version)

O, Holy Night.  Probably the best version I've heard of it.
