Joan Carden - "Tornami a vagheggiar" ALCINA (Händel) 1981
Singer(s): Joan Carden Joan Sutherland Yvonne KennyThe great Australian soprano, Joan Carden, performed an enormous array of Principal operatic roles in Australia, the UK and the States during her long career. In 1981, Opera Australia celebrated her talent by mounting a new production of Händel's ALCINA especially for her. Since that premiere in July 1981, revivals of that production boasted a host of fine soprano in the title role - Joan Sutherland, Yvonne Kenny and Rosamund Illing. From that premiere season at the Sydney Opera House, Joan Carden sings the famous aria which closes Act One "Tornami a vagheggiar" with Richard Bonynge whipping the orchestra along at breakneck speed.

Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:
ALCINA
Tiranna gelosia dell'amato Ruggier
tormenta il core,
e pur solo per lui mi strugge amore.
Tornami a vagheggiar,
te solo vuoi amar
quest'anima fedel,
caro mio bene.
Già ti donai il mio cor;
fido sarà il mio amor;
mai ti sarò crudel,
cara mia speme.
English Libretto or Translation:
ALCINA
Tyranny jealousy of the beloved Ruggier
torments the core,
and only for him is love for me.
Return me to vague,
you only want to love
this faithful soul,
my dear good.
I already gave you my heart;
I will trust my love;
I will never be cruel to you,
my dear spury.
