Aria - Vorrei spiegarvi, oh Dio Let me explain, oh God, What my grief is!

But fate has condemned me To weep and stay silent.

My heart may not pine For the one I would like to love Making me seem hard-hearted And cruel.

Ah, Count, part from me, Run, flee Far away from me; Your beloved Emilia awaits you, Don’t let her languish, She is worthy of love.

Ah, pitiless stars!

You are hostile to me.

I am lost when he stays.

Part from me, run, Speak not of love, Her heart is yours.

Aria – Ah se in ciel, benigne stelle Ah, if in heaven, kindly stars, Compassion has not vanished, Either take away my life Or release my beloved to me.

You who yet glow so beautifully Upon the pleasing face of my beloved, Protect the pure affection That you inspire in my breast.

Corrado Rovaris Music Director Corrado Rovaris is the Music Director of Opera Philadelphia and Music Director of the Artosphere Festival Orchestra, founded in 2011 by Walton Arts Center.

He also serves as Principal Conductor of the Italian chamber orchestra I Virtuosi Italiani, based in Verona.

During the 2015-16 season, Rovaris conducted the east coast premiere of Jennifer Higdon/Gene Scheer’s acclaimed opera Cold Mountain based on Charles Frazier’s novel of the same name, in a new production cocommissioned by Opera Philadelphia.

With the company, Rovaris will also conduct Verdi’s La traviata and Donizetti’s L’elisir d’amore. He makes his debut with the Opéra Nationale de Lorraine à Nancy in Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor and returns to the Bergamo Gaetano Donizetti Music Festival with performances of Anna Bolena. In addition, he leads the Orchestra i Pomeriggi Musicale in concerts in Italy.

Highlights from his 2014-15 season include the world premiere of Daniel Schnyder’s Charlie Parker’s Yardbird and company premieres of Rossini’s Il barbiere di Siviglia and Verdi’s Don Carlo at Opera Philadelphia; Verdi’s La traviata at Opéra de Lausanne; and symphonic concerts in Torino (Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionalle della RAI), Milan and Oviedo. Last season, Rovaris also made his debut with the Canadian Opera Company conducting Donizetti’s Roberto Devereux.

Born in Bergamo, Italy, Maestro Rovaris graduated from the Giuseppe Verdi

Conservatory of Milan with degrees in composition, organ and harpsichord.

From 1992-1996, he was the assistant chorus master of the Teatro alla Scala and made his debut on the podium with Il filosofo di campagna

by Galuppi in a production by Associazione Lirica e Concertistica Italiana. He was subsequently invited to conduct at the Teatro Comunale in Florence and at the Rossini Opera Festival, and soon began appearing as a regular guest in many of the major Italian houses such as La Scala, Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, Teatro La Fenice, Teatro dell’Opera di Roma and Teatro Comunale di Bologna. Internationally, he has led productions for the Opéra de Lyon, Théâtre Municipal de Lausanne, Oper Köln, Oper Frankfurt and Japan Opera Foundation in Tokyo, among others.

Making his U.S. debut in 1999 with the Opera Company of Philadelphia in Le nozze di Figaro, Rovaris quickly became a company regular, eventually leading to his appointment as their music director in 2005. In October 2008, he conducted the Tucker Gala with the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, featuring among other guest soloists Susan Graham and Bryn Terfel. He has also led a number of productions at the Santa Fe Opera, the Opera Theatre of St. Louis and Glimmerglass Opera. He has established a close connection with the Curtis Institute of Music and has led several joint Curtis-Opera Philadelphia productions since 2009.
