, and it's set to be on the forthcoming verismo album of everyone's favorite German tenor.. A comparative proliferation of YouTube videos tempts me to the inference that it may have been a favored show piece of Mario del Monaco. Thanks to operabathosa, here is a 1956 rendition (embedding disabled). And I am addicted to it. (As if there were any doubt as to my sentimental susceptibility...)

Giulietta! son io!
I feel that I ought to add a category similar to Really Shameful Confessions in cataloging my opera obsession: Really Exciting Discoveries. This week I made another one! Und zwar, a tenor aria previously unknown to me, the impassioned "Giulietta! son io!" from Riccardo Zandonai's Giulietta e Romeo. The NYPL has no circulating copies of this opera, I can't find its libretto online, and so I am left with only this tantalizing excerpt. This itself seems to be fairly rarely recorded, although Alagna has a rendition on a recital album, and it's set to be on the forthcoming verismo album of everyone's favorite German tenor..
