‘Amiamo’ – G. Donizetti

August 8, 2009 By Ian Sidden

I love singing this piece. I have been using it to end my recent recitals, and it is very good for leaving your audience on a good note! One mustn’t leave one’s audiences with a “bummer”.

Amiamo means “Let’s love”, and the piece is about how life is miserable without love.

    I look forward to hearing more.

Premiere: Frédégonde

Here’s one I’ve been looking forward to for awhile. Tonight at Opernhaus Dortmund, we’re premiering Frédegonde for the first time in Germany.
