Mozart: Non so più - Le nozze di Figaro

Cherubino's opening aria - what an entrance!
I performed this in January 2023 with pianist, Christopher Weston. Sound video by Bobby Williams (bobbywilliams.co.uk)
In the opera, the recit before this aria sets up Cherubino's character perfectly. I'll include a paraphrased English translation below:
- Recit:
Cherubino: "In exchange for the Countess' ribbon I'll give you the little song I wrote..."
Susanna: "... and what do you want me to do with that...??"
Cherubino: "Read it to the Countess... read it to yourself....read it to Barbarina and Marcellina... read it to all the women in the house!"
Susanna: "Oh, poor Cherubino, you're crazy!"
- Aria: Non so più:
"I do not know anymore what I am, what I do,
One moment I'm on fire, the next moment I am cold as ice,
Every woman changes my color,
Every woman makes me tremble.
At the very mention of love, of delight,
I am greatly troubled, my heart stirs within my chest,
It compels me to speak of love
A desire I can not explain.
I do not know anymore what I am, what I do,
One moment I'm on fire, the next moment I am cold as ice,
Every woman changes my color,
Every woman makes me tremble.
I speak of love while I'm awake,
I speak of love while I'm dreaming,
Water, shade, mountains,
Flowers, grass, fountains,
echo, air, and the winds,
The sound of my hopeless words
are taken away with them.
And if I do not have anyone near to hear me
I speak of love to myself!"

That performance of this aria was fabulous. So was the accompaniment. This deserves big recognition. Brava!

This is just gorgeous. Your tone reminds me a lot of Frederica von Stade but with more warmth and color in your lower middle range. Beautiful singing ❤
