-for his grand, romantic operas.

-Sempre Libera was first performed in

-the Theatre of the Phoenix, Venice.

0:06:120:06:18

-The first production of the opera

-was a complete failure.

0:06:180:06:22

-Verdi blamed the singers

-and the singers blamed Verdi!

0:06:270:06:33

-Violetta is a courtesan

-who has adored her from afar...

0:06:370:06:41

-..enchants her with a song and she

-gradually falls in love with him.

0:06:410:06:46

-Claire Surman and Wynne Evans,

-or Gio Campario, perform this aria.

0:06:460:06:52

-soprano worth her weight in gold.

0:30:430:30:47

-Vienna has been home to many famous

-composers, including Beethoven.

0:30:540:31:00

-Beethoven is the only composer

-to leave his mark on this city.

0:31:000:31:06

-It's incredible that Beethoven

-lost his hearing in his late 20s...

0:31:060:31:11

-..yet he performed, conducted and

-composed some of his best work...

0:31:110:31:16

-..despite being totally deaf.

0:31:160:31:19

-He experienced periods

-of depression due to his deafness.

0:31:200:31:24

-This could explain

-the stormy nature of his music.

0:31:240:31:28

-Amazingly, Beethoven only composed

-one opera, namely Fidelio...

0:31:280:31:32

-..that debuted

-at the Theater An Der Wien in

-Vienna.

-

0:31:330:31:37

-The heroine

-is the soprano, Leonora.

0:31:380:31:41

-She disguises herself as a male

-prison officer called Fidelio...

0:31:420:31:45

-..to save her husband who is

-imprisoned in a political jail.

0:31:460:31:50

-In the series,

-the soprano, Orla Boylan...

0:31:500:31:53

-..sang the aria Komm, o Hoffnung,

-or Come, Hope, from this opera.

0:31:530:31:59

-The aria conveys

-her initial anxiety...

0:31:590:32:01

-..which eases at the

-thought of his release.

0:32:020:32:05

-# Komm, Hoffnung

0:32:180:32:22

-# Lass den letzten Stern

0:32:220:32:28

-# Den letzten Stern

0:40:040:40:12

-Our next song is from the Gilbert

-and Sullivan operetta, The Mikado.

0:40:130:40:17

-The Savoy Theatre in London was

-the home of Gilbert and Sullivan.

0:40:170:40:22

-It was erected primarily

-to stage their work.

0:40:230:40:27

-The interior is similar...

0:40:280:40:30

-..to when it staged the operetta's

-first performance in 1881.

0:40:300:40:34

-The tenor, Nanki-Poo flees from

-his father, The Mikado of Japan...

0:40:340:40:40

-..to avoid marrying

-the ugly contralto, Katisha.

0:40:400:40:43

-He wants to marry

-the beautiful soprano, Yum-Yum.

0:40:430:40:46

-The Mikado agrees...

0:40:470:40:48

-..on the condition that Nanki-Poo

-is executed afterwards.

0:40:480:40:52

-Sarah Tynan plays Yum-Yum.

0:40:520:40:54

-On her wedding day, she pauses

-to admire her beauty and strength.

0:40:540:41:00

-# The sun, whose rays are all ablaze

0:41:100:41:14

-# With ever-living glory

0:41:140:41:19

-# Does not deny His majesty

0:41:190:41:22

-# He scorns to tell a story!

0:41:220:41:27

-# He don't exclaim,

-"I blush for shame

0:41:280:41:30

-# "So kindly be indulgent"

0:41:310:41:36

-# But, fierce and bold,

-in fiery gold

0:41:370:41:40

-# He glories all effulgent!

0:41:400:41:45

-# I mean to rule the earth

0:41:500:41:55

-# As he the sky

0:41:550:41:58

-# We really know our worth

0:41:580:42:04

-# The sun and I

0:42:040:42:08

-# I mean to rule the earth,

-as he the sky

0:42:090:42:15

-# We really know our worth

0:42:150:42:19

-# The sun and I!

0:42:190:42:26

-# Observe his flame,

-that placid dame

0:42:320:42:35

-# The moon's Celestial Highness

0:42:360:42:41

-# There's not a trace upon her face

0:42:410:42:44

-# Of diffidence or shyness

0:42:440:42:50

-# She borrows light

-that through the night

0:42:500:42:53

-# Mankind may all acclaim her!

0:42:530:42:59

-# And, truth to tell,

-she lights up well

0:42:590:43:02

-# So I for one, don't blame her!

0:43:020:43:08

-# Ah, pray make no mistake

0:43:110:43:17

-# We are not shy

0:43:180:43:20

-# We're very wide awake

0:43:210:43:27

-# The moon and I!

0:43:270:43:32

-# Ah, pray make no mistake

0:43:320:43:37

-# We are not shy

0:43:370:43:41

-# We're very wide awake

0:43:410:43:45

-# The moon

0:43:460:43:50

-# And I! #

0:43:500:43:56

-I hope you've enjoyed some of

-the best songs from Sopranos...

0:44:040:44:08

-..in this Christmas special.

0:44:080:44:10

-We end with Y Gylfinir

-by Dilys Elwyn-Edwards.

0:44:110:44:16

-This song was commissioned

-as part of Caneuon Y Tri Aderyn...

0:44:160:44:20

-..that also includes

-Mae Hiraeth Yn Y Mor and Tylluanod.

0:44:200:44:24

-R Williams Parry

-penned the lyrics...

0:44:240:44:26

-..and Y Gylfinir was a personal

-favourite of Dilys Elwyn-Edwards.

0:44:260:44:31

-It's also one of my favourites.

0:44:310:44:33

-# Your call is heard

-at high noon-day

0:44:470:44:54

-# A wistful flute across the mere

0:44:540:45:01

-# As herdsman's whistle far away

0:45:020:45:09

-# Your call is heard

-at midnight clear

0:45:090:45:16

-# Then hear we

0:45:160:45:20

-# As you swell your keen

0:45:200:45:24

-# Baring afar, your hounds unseen

0:45:240:45:31

-# Your flocks

-the massive clouds of grey

0:45:330:45:41

-# And all four winds

-your eager hounds

0:45:410:45:48

-# Awhile do pen them 'ere they stray

0:45:480:45:55

-# And scatter once more

-out of hounds

0:45:550:46:01

-# A mute and restless drove on high

0:46:010:46:07

-# Amid the shielings of the sky #
