Jerry Hadley sings Nemorino's act II aria from L'elisir D'amore by Donizetti. 1985. Jerry Hadley (June 16, 1952 July 18, 2007) was a student of my teacher from 1978, after getting his masters degree in music from the University of Illinois in 1977. He then started teaching at the University of Connecticut. A 1993 article by Noël Goodwin in Opera magazine stated, "After 15 years Hadley still goes back to this Sicilian American who, he says, gave him confidence and secure knowledge of what he is doing with his voice at any given time, through teaching methods that are direct and physiological." Hadley also stated, "(I was) lucky above all else to have found a teacher in New York without whom I really doubt I could have really built the career I have." Here he displays wonderful balanced vocal registration and release of constriction which are the cornerstones of the technique that he learned and that I teach.
SCENA OTTAVA
NEMORINO
solo
Una furtiva lacrima
Negli occhi suoi spuntò ...
Quelle festose giovani
Invidïar sembrò ...
Che più cercando io vo?
M'ama, lo vedo.
Un solo istante i palpiti
Del suo bel cor sentir ...
I miei sospir confondere
Per poco a' suoi sospir! ...
Cielo, si può morir;
Di più non chiedo.
Eccola ... Oh! qual le accresce
Beltà l'amor nascente!
A far l'indifferente
Si seguiti così finché non viene
Ella a spiegarsi.
SCENE EIGHT
Nemorino
only
A stealthy tear
In his eyes it appeared ...
Those festive young people
Invidïar seemed ...
What more could I want?
He loves me, I see him.
One moment the beats
Of his beautiful heart he will hear ...
My sighs confuse
For a little while at his sigh! ...
Heaven, we can die;
I do not ask for more.
Here it is ... Oh! what increases it
Beauty, the nascent love!
To be indifferent
Follow this way until it comes
She explained herself.
