Kiri Te Kanawa Sings "Come Scoglio" from Mozart's Cosi Fan Tutte.
Singer: Kiri Te KanawaKiri Te Kanawa (1944-) made her Met debut in 1974, as Desdemona, and went very quickly to great international fame, especially in the Mozart-Strauss repertoire. One of the major artistic discoveries of the mid-twentieth century was that great and powerful voices work perfectly well in big Mozart arias; in fact, they are now preferred, Donna Anna's "Or sai chi l'onore..." being a prime example. The same can be said of this aria from Cosi Fan Tutte, which Kiri Te Kanawa renders in near-stentorian fashion.

Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:
DONNA ANNAOr sai chi l'onore
Rapire a me volse,
Chi fu il traditore
Che il padre mi tolse.
Vendetta ti chiedo,
La chiede il tuo cor.
Rammenta la piaga
Del misero seno,
Rimira di sangue
Coperto il terreno.
Se l'ira in te langue
D'un giusto furor.

English Libretto or Translation:
The wretch now thou knowest,Who sought my betraying,
And vengeance thou owest
My father's, my father's foul slaying.
For justice I sue thee;
I ask of thy troth, I ask of thy troth.
Remember when wounded,
His lifeblood was flowing,
Unsolaced, unshriven,
He heard not, he heard not my crying,
My heart will be riven,
If thou break thy oath.
