Tune of the Day: Porgi, amor
from Mozart's “The Marriage of Figaro”, arranged for two flutes
Appearing at the beginning of Act II, this is the first aria sung by the Countess in Mozart's Le nozze di Figaro. She is very sad, and worried about her husband's infidelity.
O Love, give me some remedy
For my sorrow, for my sighs!
Either give me back my darling
Or at least let me die.
