“Vieni, o figlio” from Handel’s Ottone (HWV 15), 1723
Ann Hallenberg as Gismonda
Il pomo d’oro under George Petrou
This role was written for Margherita Durastanti (active 1700–1734).
The idea and inspiration for this video was provided by Anita Sikora who has an essay about Margherita Durastanti, this aria, and motherhood that can be found here:
Vieni, o figlio, e mi consola,
che se il viver t’è vietato,
mori almen in questo sen.
A penar, non sarò sola
s’il conceda amica stella,
perché teco io verrò men.
Come, my son, and comfort me,
for if life is denied you,
at least you may die on my breast.
I shall not be alone in my suffering
if a kindly star allows it,
because I shall die with you.
