Fred Shipman, just to clarify: this aria has been in' Cinderella" since its premiere in Israel. It wasn't written especially for the Salzburg production.
@@fredshipman6596 You are entirely correct, Fred. But viewers could misread your comment to mean that the aria first appeared in the Salzburg production.
Several years ago there was an English language of this aria and I used to sing it. Now seeing the German, it is so much easier to pronounce the words than in English. The English seems to be trying to push too many words into too little music. Whereas the German fits perfectly. I am now going to only do the German. Much more natural and operatic.
Such a powerfully affecting aria!
One day, Laura was ill and unable to perform and there was no understudy. Alma stood in for her. There is a bit of video available from that show.
Ich liebe diese Arie! Eine wunderbare Melodie!!!
Wonderful!! Was this composed by Alma Deutscher?
Yes
Yes ! It’s a special version for Salzburgs state theatre !
This is from the Salzburg production of the opera Cinderella by Alma Deutscher. Bravo!!
Thank you so much 💐

Who wrote the German lyrics?

Alma needed a Gilbert for her Sullivan.
Fantastic
Thank you 💐💐
