Cara tomba (A. Scarlatti) Simone Kermes

“Cara tomba“ Simone Kermes Le Musiche Nove under Claudio Osele from the opera Mitridate Eupatore (Act, IV, Scene 2) by Alessandro Scarlatti (1660-1725) Libretto by Girolamo Frigimelica Roberti. Aria for Laodice: “Cara tomba del mio diletto nel tuo sen dammi ricetto, deh sii tomba anche per me. O deposito infelice! Se a te fui culla, e nutrice vuò morire anche con te.“ TRANSLATION: Dear tomb of my beloved, give me refuge within you, ah, be a tomb for me as well. O unhappy resting place! If I cradled and nursed you, I wish to die with you as well. First performed in Venice on January 5, 1707. A failure at its premiere, Mitridate Eupatore is now considered Scarlatti’s finest opera.
