This aria (whose original Italian title is “Una volta c'era un re”) is sung by Cinderella in Act I of Gioachino Rossini's 1817 opera “La Cenerentola”. She sings of a king who looked everywhere for a wife and at last found her in a simple girl like herself.
The present arrangement for two flutes is taken from Blake's Young Flutist's Magazine, published in 1833.
