La clemenza di Tito - Terzetto 'Se al volto mai ti senti'
Singer(s): Dorothea Röschmann Vesselina Kasarova Luca PisaroniMozart's "La clemenza di Tito" at Salzburg Opera Festival, 2003.
Publio, captain of praetorian guards, comes to arrest Sesto for the attempt at killing the emperor. Sesto obeys and tells Vitellia that even now he still loves her. Vitellia feels guilty and weeps in despair and repentance, Publio is touched by her tears, but nothing can sway his loyalty to the law.
Here the director obviously had some unusual ideas about how this scene should look but both singing and acting are superb. I highly recommend this DVD to every Mozart fan.
Sesto - Vesselina Kasarova
Vitellia - Dorothea Röschmann
Publio - Luca Pisaroni

Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:
SESTO
Se al volto mai ti senti
Lieve aura che s'aggiri,
Gli estremi miei sospiri
Quelle'allito sara.
VITELLIA
(Per me vien tratto a morte:
Ah dove mai s'ascondo!-
Fra poco noto al mondo
Il fallo mio sara.)
PUBLIO
Vieni...
SESTO
(a Publio)
Ti seguo...
(a Vitellia)
addio.
VITELLIA
(a Sesto)
Senti...mi perdo...Oh Dio!
(A Publio)
Che crudelta!
SESTO
(a Vitellia, in atto di partire)
Rammenta chi t'adora
In questo stato ancora.
Mercede al mio dolore
Sia almen la tua pieta.
VITELLIA
(mi laceran il core
Rimorso, orror, spavento!
Quel che nell'alma io sento
Di duol morir mi fa.)
PUBLIO
L'acerbo amaro pianto,
Che da' suoi lumi piove,
L'anima mi commove,
ma vana e la pieta!
(Publio e Sesto partono con le guardie, e
Vitellia dalla parte opposta.)
English Libretto or Translation:
SEXTUS
If ever you feel a light breeze
playing on your face,
that breath will be
my dying sighs.
VITELLIA
(Through me he is being taken to his death;
ah, wherever can I hide?‑
Very soon my crime
will be known to the world.)
PUBLIUS
Come ...
SEXTUS
to Publius
I follow you ...
to Vitellia
Farewell.
VITELLIA
to Sextus
Listen ... I am lost ... O god!
to Publius
How cruel!
SEXTUS
to Vitellia, as he is going
Remember the one who loves you still,
even in this plight.
Let your pity at least
be solace for my pain.
VITELLIA
Remorse, horror and fear
rend my heart!
What I feel in my soul
will make me die of grief.)
PUBLIUS
(The stinging, bitter tears
that pour from her eyes
move my soul,
but pity is useless!)
Exeunt Publius and Sextus with the guards; exit Vitellia on the opposite side.
