An old, but good selection to start this one out. I haven't posted any opera videos yet, but that is what most of my training is in. I sing many other genres as well but this is the one I always come back to :). This week I am choosing a song from the opera Gianni Schicchi. This selection entitled "O mio babbino caro" is a plead. A plead from the character Lauretta to her father, begging him to allow her to stay with her love, Rinuccio. Below is a translation provided by ThoughtCo.
Oh my dear father,
I like him, he is very handsome.
I want to go to Porta Rossa
to buy the ring!
Yes, Yes, I want to go there!
And if my love were in vain,
I would go to Ponte Vecchio
and throw myself in the Arno!
I am pining and I am tormented,
Oh God! I would want to die!
Daddy, have mercy!
Enjoy!
