Lucia Popp: Norina’s Cavatina ()

Don Pasquale - Donizetti This absolutely charming video has been synchronized with studio audio to give what I think is the best of both worlds. I confess to being Lucia’s biggest fan, so the work of putting it all together with a liberal translation of the amusing lyrics was enjoyable. It is nothing compared with the pleasure she provided for many during her career. The 20th anniversary of her untimely death is later this year. It is a shame that this upload cannot be viewed in Germany, where she largely made her home.
