Singer(s): Isabel Leonard Sally Matthews Audun IversenSally Matthews and Audun Iversen perform 'Contessa perdono' in the Festival 2012 production of Le nozze di Figaro.
Director: Michael Grandage
Conductor: Robin Ticciati, the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment

Le nozze di Figaro is the quintessential Glyndebourne opera- first performed in 1934 and in 1994 when the opera house re-opened.
‘This is a Figaro of rare grace, naturalness and charm’, said The Daily Telegraph, and for The Sunday Times it was a production that ‘affirms Mozart’s most beloved masterpiece as both of its time and perennially modern, Grandage oiling the comic mechanisms of Lorenzo Da Ponte’s libretto with a master technician’s hands.’

Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:
SUSANNA
s'inginocchia ai piedi del Conte
Perdono! Perdono!
IL CONTE
No, no, non sperarlo.
FIGARO
s'inginocchia
Perdono! Perdono!
IL CONTE
No, no, non vo' darlo!.
BARTOLO, CHERUBINO, MARCELLINA, BASILIO, ANTONIO, SUSANNA e FIGARO
s'inginocchiano
Perdono! Perdono!
IL CONTE
No, no, no!
LA CONTESSA
esce dall'altra nicchia e vuole inginocchiarsi, il Conte nol permette
Almeno io per loro
perdono otterrò.
BASILIO, IL CONTE e ANTONIO
(Oh cielo, che veggio!
Deliro! Vaneggio!
Che creder non so?)
IL CONTE
Contessa, perdono!
LA CONTESSA
Più docile io sono,
e dico di sì.
TUTTI
Ah, tutti contenti
saremo così.
Questo giorno di tormenti,
di capricci, e di follia,
in contenti e in allegria
solo amor può terminar.
Sposi, amici, al ballo, al gioco,
alle mine date foco!
Ed al suon di lieta marcia
corriam tutti a festeggiar!
English Libretto or Translation:
All kneel one after the other
SUSANNA
Forgive me, forgive me.
COUNT
No, no, do not hope for it.
FIGARO
Forgive me, forgive me.
COUNT
No, no I will not.
ALL
Forgive us, forgive us.
COUNT
No, no, no, no, no.
The Countess emerges from the other recess and tries to kneel, but the Count prevents her.
COUNTESS
At least let me plead
Forgiveness for them.
BASILIO and ANTONIO
Oh heavens! What do I see?
A delusion, a vision,
That I can't believe.
COUNT
My Countess, forgive me.
COUNTESS
I am kinder:
I will say "Yes."
ALL
Then let us all
Be happy.
This day of torment,
Of caprices and folly,
Love can end
Only in contentment and joy.
Lovers and friends, let's round things off
In dancing and pleasure,
And to the sound of a gay march
Let's hasten to the revelry.
