Colombetta, Colombetta,
Apri l’uscio, non farmi penar
Del balcon solleva il velo
Apri amor se no qui gelo
Colombetta, Colombetta,
Arlecchino gelando si sta.

Very entertaining. She could make a living on the concert/cabaret circuit, IF she continues to have trouble getting hired by opera companies. I’m serious. I don’t know her work at all and had never heard of her until I started to read this site (please, I don’t mean that as a knock on her — more a comment on my own limited experience) but I’ll seek out her recordings now. I wonder if she has written her autobiography yet …

The Buzzi-Peccia “Colombetta” was fun and the Fanciulla a challenge well met.
The Trovatore duet: (If this doesn’t work, go to YouTube and listen there!

Go to YouTube. Search for “Aprile Millo” – posts from the last week.. and you’ll get the audio for the Trovatore duet from Last Tuesday’s recital…….
