LUCIA
Verranno a te sull’aura I miei sospiri ardenti,
Udrai nel mar che mormora
L’eco de’ miei lamenti…
Pensando ch’io di gemiti
Mi pasco, e di dolor.
Spargi un’amara lagrima
Su questo pegno allor.

EDGARDO
Verranno a te sull’aura I miei sospiri ardenti,
Udrai nel mar che mormora
L’eco de’ miei lamenti…
Pensando ch’io di gemiti
Mi pasco, e di dolor.
Spargi un’amara lagrima
Su questo pegno allor.

LUCIA
Il tuo scritto sempre viva la memoria in me terrà.

EDGARDO
Cara! Sì, sì, Lucia.

LUCIA, EDGARDO
Verranno a te sull’aura I miei sospiri ardenti,
Udrai nel mar che mormora
L’eco de’ miei lamenti…
Pensando ch’io di gemiti
Mi pasco, e di dolor.
Spargi un’amara lagrima
Su questo pegno allor.

EDGARDO
Io parto…

LUCIA
Addio…

EDGARDO
Rammentati! Ne stringe il cielo!…

EDGARDO, LUCIA
Addio…
– Verranno a te sull’aure from Gaetano Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor, Libretto by Salvatore Cammarano, First performance on September 26, 1835 at the Teatro di San Carlo, Naples, Italy

English Translation:
LUCIA
On the breeze
will come to you my ardent sighs,
you will hear in the murmuring sea
the echo of my laments.
When you think of me
living on tears and grief,
then shed a bitter tear
on this ring.

EDGARDO
On the breeze
will come to you my ardent sighs,
you will hear in the murmuring sea
the echo of my laments.
When you think of me
living on tears and grief,
then shed a bitter tear
on this ring.

LUCIA
Your letter will forever live on in my memory.

EDGARDO
Dearest! Yes, yes, Lucia.

LUCIA, EDGARDO
On the breeze
will come to you my ardent sighs,
you will hear in the murmuring sea
the echo of my laments.
When you think of me
living on tears and grief,
then shed a bitter tear
on this ring.

EDGARDO
I shall leave.

LUCIA
Farewell.

EDGARDO
Remember, Heaven has joined us!

EDGARDO, LUCIA
Farewell!

Here we have 31-year-old Jack Spicer as Edgardo Ravenswood and 25 going on 26-year-old Princess Morbucks as Lucia Ashton the tragic star-crossed lovers from one of my most favorite Bel Canto operas of all time Gaetano Donizetti’s “Lucia di Lammermoor”, which was based on the historical novel “The Bride of Lammermoor” written by Sir Walter Scott. What makes these two fit their respective roles to a T is that they are of extremely affluent families who own a heck load of property and they are young souls in love, even though they are far from being teenagers. Sure, Jack is far from being the most heroic gentleman out there and Princess is not one to constantly go cuckoo, but Jack is sufficiently dashing with a high-flying light lyric tenor voice and Princess is fresh and lovely as a daisy in an external manner and I imagine her belting out high notes like what any lyric coloratura soprano would do.

Being someone who loves Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor with a passion, I figured that the love duet “Verranno a te” would suit both Jack and Princess’s lovey-dovey nature so well. This duet is even more exciting when the high notes are also put to great use. Whether it is Lucia hitting the high E-flat and Edgardo hitting the high C or Lucia hitting the high C and Edgardo hitting the high E-flat or both Edgardo and Lucia hitting the high E-flat, there is always something so exhilarating when these two do it. For that, I will gladly display my six favorite Edgardos and Lucias singing this duet with the high notes and those are Carlo Bergonzi and Beverly Sills, Alfredo Kraus and Mariella Devia, Marcelo Alvarez and Stefania Bonfadelli, Paolo Fanale and Desiree Rancatore, Carlos Barcenas and Jessica Pratt, and Francesco Demuro and Nadine Sierra. Bergonzi, Kraus, Alvarez, and Fanale hit the High C. Barcenas and Demuro hit the High E-Flat. All of the aforementioned sopranos from Sills to Sierra hit the High E-Flat. So, do enjoy these selections, as you gaze into this piece of Prinack fan art.
