Conductor, JULIUS HARRISON
ELENA DANIELI (soprano)
Relayed from
The White Rock Pavilion, Hastings Count Almaviva, who with the help of Figaro, the barber, is doing his best by means of varying disguises to get near enough to Rosina to tell her how ardent is his passion, has been serenading her. She, equally anxious to have Almaviva at her feet, though foiled at every stage of this frustrated courtship, has been listening to Almaviva's singing with rapture, and now sings this florid, but lighthearted aria. Apart from the opera, it is one of the coloratura show-pieces of the concert platform.
