Dessay's “Cleopatra”!
US: Canada:
Natalie Dessay performs Cleopatra's recitative and aria "E pur così in un giorno...Piangerò la sorte mia" from Handel's opera "Giulio Cesare". Emmanuelle Haïm conducts Le Concert d'Astrée.
Dessay also premiered Handel's original "lost" aria "Troppo crudeli siete" that was later replaced by "Piangerò":
Aria Cleopatra
Piangerò la sorte mia,
sì crudele e tanto ria, finché vita in petto avrò. Ma poi morta d'ogn'intorno il tiranno e notte e giorno fatta spettro agiterò.
Cleopatra air
I will cry my destiny,
so cruel and so much, as long as I live in my chest. But then the tyrant is dead all around, and night and day in the ghost, I will stir.
