Giovanni Simone Mayr - Fedra - Aria
BackGiovanni Simone Mayr Opera: Fedra, Melodramma serio in two acts, first performance 26 december 1820, Teatro alla scala, Milan. Aria: Se fiero, Ippolito Fedra: Penelope Walker Orchestra: Philharmonia orchestra Conductor: David Parry One of Mayr's last operas before he retired from the stage and take up teaching and his love for church music. At this time Mayr was fifty seven but still very much at the height of his powers and no signs of drying up of inspiration. The aria is a part of the second act finale where Fedra has taken poison. The music is simple and sombre. Fedra: Se fiero, Ippolito, Mi fosti in vita, La tua nell'Erebo Ombra romita, Ah! forse al mio piangere Si placherà. If, Hippolytus, you spurned me While you were alive, Perhaps your soul, Wandering in Erebus, Will be placated By my tears.
