“Mais, o mon bien-aimé, pour mieux sécher mes pleurs, Que ta voix parle encore! Dis moi qu’à Dalila tu reviens pour jamais. Redis à ma tendresse, les serments d’autre fois!” “But, oh my beloved, So as better to dry my tears, May your voice speak again! Tell me that you return to Dalila forever; Repeat to my tender love, the promises of former times!” Even though I’m not in as good of voice as I’d prefer today (my fucking severe allergies have been kicking my ass ever since I came home from my vacation at Whidbey Island), I’d still like to share a piece of my lesson that DID go well. This is “Mon Cœur S’Ouvre à Ta Voix” from the opera Samson et Dalila by Camille Saint-Saëns. I’ve really come to love this piece. It’s positively beautiful, passionate, and romantic, and my voice sounds good with it. 😚 . . . . #operagoth #operasingerswithpiercings #gothoperasinger #SamsonetDalila #SamsonandDelilah #CamilleSaintSaëns #french #france #frenchopera #19thcentury #bohemian #classicalmusic #opera #classical #operasinger #blacklipstick #mezzosoprano #dramaticmezzosoprano #mezzo https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp8Dj87g_jR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=12bharzs45bwu
