Madly in love with a man who’s pretended to love her

It's late in Cork I bring you a love song a young girl has found love. Trouble is the guy she's fallen in love with is a very disreputable character. That's a lot of power. Our name in the opera is called Shielda. Head Over Heels in Love she is

. . "Sweet name, you who made my heart throb for the first time you must always remind the pleasures of love. My desire will fly to you ...

This music comes from an opera called Regaletto Rigoletto. And it's a tragic tragedy, it says in the palace of Account, who's very powerful and the count has a kind of adjuster really keeps him amused. Called Rigoletto. Rigoletto has a huge secret. And at the beginning of the opera, Rigoletto playing to the crowd is very nasty to a man who is condemned to death. And the man who is condemned to death by the count curses him. And that curse hangs over the whole opera

I'm wondering if you can answer that, but it's such an unusual use of your voice, the way she does it is just so striking. And I've heard it before. And I wonder if it's a classic way to like that very staccato, beautiful way to indulge and really just listen to an entire opera. I don't think I've ever done it alone. I've done it. Seeing opera

But the curse that was cast on him by the prisoner who he mocked on his way to his execution. On the prisoners execution. That curse is a terrible curse and terribly frigoletto suffered it. I'll tell you more later
