Piangero la sorte mia...

Cleopatra’s aria from Giulio Cesare by G. F. Haendel Set in a time where Cleopatra is a political prisoner and is in an underground cell where she has not seen daylight for weeks, maybe months. She is tired, weak, in a state of shock and has lost all sense of time. She does not know what has happened to her lover Cesare or any of her allies. She struggles as she tries to cling to what is left of her dignity, not only as a Queen but as a woman. Live recording from Opera Scenes at the Hochschule fur Musik un
