Se mai senti spirarti sul volto from the opera Catone in Utica, RV 705
by Antonio Vivaldi (1678–1741)

Roberta Mameli, soprano
Il Complesso Barocco
Alan Curtis, conductor

The role of Cesare was first sung by soprano castrato Lorenzo Girardi.

Se mai senti spirarti sul volto
lieve fiato, che lento s’aggiri,
di, son questi gli ardenti sospiri
del mio fido che langue per me.
E se fia dal suo seno raccolto,
la memoria di tanti martiri
sarà dolce con tanta mercè.
[Metastasio]

TRANSLATION (by Charles Johnston):
If you ever feel your brow fanned
By a light, hovering breeze,
Say: ‘Those are the ardent sighs
Of my faithful lover who languishes for me.’
And if it is sheltered in your breast,
The memory of its many torments
Will be sweetened by such pity.

Se mai senti spirarti sul volto (Vivaldi) Roberta Mameli

The beauties of baroque Italy will be presented at the SHF by his resident ensemble Collegium Marianum (playing baroque and
classical instruments) with the best Czech baroque violin player Lenka Torgersen and the phenomenal flutist
Jana Semerádová (flauto traverso). In the oldest church in Ostrava this year, he will accompany the excellent Italian
soprano Roberta Mameli. Currently, this singer is considered one of the world's top performers in the
Baroque repertoire for her " velvet and extremely agile voice that can capture an infinitely wide
range of emotions ". She will bring the captivating arias with which she shone in Vienna, Paris, Amsterdam, Lyon or Barcelona.

English

Krásy barokní Itálie představí na SHF jeho rezidenční ansámbl Collegium Marianum (hrající na barokní či
klasicistní nástroje) s nejlepší českou hráčkou na barokní housle Lenkou Torgersen a fenomenální flétnistkou
Janou Semerádovou (flauto traverso). V nejstarším ostravském kostele letos doprovodí vynikající italskou
sopranistku Robertu Mameli. V současnosti je tato pěvkyně považována za jednu ze světových špiček v oblasti
barokního repertoáru pro její „sametový a nesmírně hbitý hlas, který dokáže vystihnout nekonečně širokou
škálu emocí“. Přiváží strhující árie, s nimiž zazářila ve Vídni, Paříži, Amsterodamu, Lyonu či Barceloně.
