      Ireland 작곡가 Michael W. Balfe의 "The Bohemian Girl". "I dreamt I dwelt in marble halls"는 이 오페라 중의 아리아로 조수미, Sutherland, Jessye Norman, Enya 등등 여러 singer들이 부른 탓에 우리에게는 비교적 친근하다. Balfe의 작품 답게 오페라 수록된 다른 아름다운 aria들이 있는데 - 우리에게 잘 알려져 있진 않지만 - 여기 그 중 2곡을 싣는다. 스토리: 오스트리아 백작 Arnheim의 딸 Arline는 어려서 사냥터에 나갔다가 아버지와 헤어진 후, 집시의 손에 자란다. 12년의 세월이 흘러 집시 처녀로 성장한 Arline는 폴란드 병사 Thaddeus를 사랑한다. 집시 여왕의 질투로 음모에 빠지지만 결국은 사랑도 얻고 아버지도 찾는 해피엔딩이다. 2막: [Queen of the Gipsies] 'Tis gone the past was all a dream 'Tis gone — the past was all a dream, The light of life is o'er, The hope that once so bright did seem, Now shines for me no more. Ah, foolish heart, without a thought, In joy that didst believe, Nor knew, what many a tale has taught, Love smiles but to deceive. No more I'll join the dance and song, Or mingle with the gay. And, happy as the day is long, Beguile the hours away. I'll seek me out some silent spot, In solitude to grieve, And learn, what many a tale has taught, Love smiles but to deceive. 'Tis Gone The Past Was All A Dream - Bernadette Cullen 3막: [Thaddeus] 아버지의 성에서 무료히 지내며 집시 생활과 연인 Thaddeus를 그리워 하는 Arline. Arline의 방 창 밖에서 부르는 Thaddeus의 세레나데이다. Then You'll Remember Me When other lips and other hearts Their tales of love shall tell, In language whose excess imparts The pow'r they feel so well, There may, perhaps, in such a scene Some recollection be Of days that have as happy been, And you'll remember me, And you'll remember, you'll remember me. When coldness or deceit shall slight The beauty now they prize, And deem it but a faded light Which beams within your eyes; When hollow heats shall wear a mask 'Twill break your own to see: In such a moment I but ask, That you'll remember me, That you'll remember, you'll remember me. Then You'll Remember Me - Patrick Power, New Zealand tenor
