William McAlpine "De miei bollenti spiriti"
Singer: William McAlpineWilliam McAlpine sings Alfredo's aria live from Covent Garden in January 1960. This is part of the extraordinary, unrehearsed performance in which Virginia Zeani sang Violetta as an emergency replacement for the ailing Joan Sutherland.
None of the cast had ever set eyes on each other before they met on stage in the performance. Already ideally cast as a fresh and innocent sounding Alfredo, William McAlpine excelled himself that evening and proved the perfect partner for Zeani.
The whole uniquely realistic performance is posted on this channel in thirteen videos.

Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:
De' miei bollenti spiriti
Il giovanile ardore
Ella temprò col placido
Sorriso dell'amore!
Dal dì che disse: vivere
Io voglio a te fedel,
Dell'universo immemore
Io vivo quasi in ciel.
English Libretto or Translation:
My passionate spirit
And the fire of youth
She tempers with the
Gentle smile of love.
Since the day when she told me
"I want to live, faithful to you alone!"
I have forgotten the world
And lived like one in heaven …
