Donizetti: The Elixir Of Love

DISC 1

Prelude

After long and heavy labour

How delightful, how enchanting

That's a really happy ending

Lovely was Queen Isolda

Marziale

To the one who shines in beauty

If you love me as I love you

Too soon, my lovely creature

The same old tedious passion!

For example, ask the breezes

Such affection is but folly

What's the meaning of that kind of fanfare?

Attention! Attention!

Have courage!

It was Tristan who employed it

Magical potion! I have you

Who is that madman?

Trallarallara

Oh, let her laugh and mock at me

Tran, tran, tran, tran

Ha, ha! Of course, that's quite all right

One moment, sergeant!

Adina, think again

Today's our wedding

DISC 2

Sing up, then

Since singing is your pleasure

I am rich and you are pretty

Pray silence!

I always like a wedding

Is that not like a woman

Twenty florins!

Shake my hand, then, my young shaver

Can it be possible?

I've polished off two bottles now

It's magnificent!

I see it perfectly

Why should he seem so happy?

How he loved me!

With a look of love and laughter

Only one teardrop glistened there

Here she is

Take it!

All right. Take this then!

Halt! Right turn!

It will give you cheeks like peaches
