Here is a short excerpt from the Wikipedia synopsis of this scene:
"...The King Flippo II enters and becomes angry because the Queen Elisabetta is alone and unattended by her lady-in-waiting. He orders the lady-in-waiting who was meant to be attending her, the Countess of Aremberg, to return to France, prompting Elizabeth to sing a sorrowful farewell-aria to her beloved lady-in-waiting and friend. (Aria: "Non pianger, mia compagna"). King FIlippo II's suspicions and actions were deeply insulting to her majesty Elisabetta."

Libretto in English:
ELIZABETH
Do not cry, my partner,
Soothe your pain.
Bandit you are from Spain
But not from this cor
With you of my life
The dawn was still happy:
Return to his native,
My heart will follow you.
gives a ring to the Countess
Get extreme pledge
Of all my favor.
Hate unworthy outrage
Waves I blush again.
Do not say crying,
Of the raw my pain;
Return to home,
My heart will follow you.
Libretto in Italian:
ELISABETTA
Non pianger, mia compagna,
Lenisci il tuo dolor.
Bandita sei di Spagna
Ma non da questo cor
Con te del viver mio
L'alba fu lieta ancor:
Ritorna al suoi natio,
Ti seguirà il mio cor.
dà un anello alla Contessa
Ricevi estremo pegno
Di tutto il mio favor.
Cela l'oltraggio indegno
Onde arrossisco ancor.
Non dir del pianto mio,
Del crudo mio dolor;
Ritorna al suol natio,
Ti seguirà il mio cor.

What was crazier: Montsy's 23-second phrase or the audience screaming brava in the end?
Both! Thanks for the post.
Caballe's pianissimo could turn anything into a masterpiece. It's not just a dynamic with her, it opens up another musical portal.
Absolutely. It creates emotional intimacy and a window into the personal thoughts of the women she portrays. It gives life to ice-cold heroines.
@@NLidar I always thought that was one of Caballe's defining vocal characteristics- a kind of introverted intimacy combined with a regal bearing and great warmth. That's why critics said when she was about to kill her children as Norma, you knew she was never going to do it.
She is the mother, no doubt.
jmiller05 She was incredible HOLY BLACK MOTHER OF DARKNESS. AS NORMA. Arnold Bourbon Amaral
Absolutely fantastic...

Flying with angels.
Just WOW ,only Mobtse the magnificent 👏
What cretin is saying "kitsch" at the end?
Best Elisabetta ever.
Ever.
Sei un raffinato intenditore Nuri, se ho ben capito di tutto il brano che canta la Montserrat.. tu fai rilevare in quei 23:00 secondi quel pianissimo stupendo.. Ho capito bene Nuri?? Tu fai l' eccezione ed io semplicemente ammetto che tutto il brano è una perla preziosa incastonata nella voce del Soprano Caballe '... Ti ringrazio tantissimo Nuri...mi spieghi però perché hai tolto alla bella stampa il volto?? Dal sontuoso abito sono sicura ch' è l' effige di una Regina... il mistero s' infittisce!! Ciao Nuri😎😎😎😎😎Elsa.
Beh, Elsa, la faccia del ritratto non è molto carina, ma ho voluto mostrare il grande dettaglio e l'opulenza della moda del Rinascimento spagnolo. Adoro la moda storica! Un argomento molto interessante. In ogni caso, la frase di 23 secondi con il pianissimo inizia alle 3:19. A proposito, nella descrizione ho messo il libretto italiano per te :)
@@NLidar... Ti ringrazio caro Nuri di aver messo per intero il testo in italiano eseguito dalla Monserrat....sei sempre di una gentilezza squisita. Attento sempre i tuoi prossimi e bei caricamenti che ti distinguono.. Ciao ancora Elsa.
@@elsaasta5164 Grazie cara Elsa! Sono grato di aver fatto un amico come te e di scrivere commenti così belli sul mio piccolo canale! Buonasera. ♡♡♡
Amazing. Poor chorus, having to sustain their notes for as long as she did at 3:20...
Don't worry about the chorus. For them it's just a sort of relay race. Whe someone gets out of breath the one next to him keeps on singing.
