“Barbara” excerpt, Handel (Alcina)-Kinneret Ely, soprano 

Thank you to Ivan Gaidei (Иван Гайдей-@toujours_ioanni), for this video clip! It’s from the July 22nd performance of Handel’s Alcina, produced by Jerusalem Lyric Opera Studio & Festival, performed at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art with the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra. This is me singing an excerpt from Oberto’s aria “Barbara,” from Handel’s Alcina.
Conductor: Ethan Schmeisser.
Harpsichord: Adina Cocargeanu.
Director: Katya Korabelnik (Катя Корабельник).
(Playing opposite Veronika Kurmanov as Alcina).
Translation:
Barbarous woman! I know full well that this is my father who by your wicked fury has been
changed into a wild beast.
But soon I shall see you
wandering through the forest
vanquished, confused, and sad, and no longer haughty.
