Vecchia Zimarra senti, sempre... for ever with his voice after Dearest Ezio Pinza, celebrated here as well somewhere...and Giorgio Tozzi and here once more, Carlo Colombara! I missed his Enrico VIII-Anna Bolena in Barcelona, as I was crossing inner tempests! Will I manage to see him performing one day? I am so grateful to this you Tube uploader. Some days, I go through my favourite arias and singers...launched for the most marvellous voyage...and I happen to reach Treasure Island sometimes...
Vecchia zimarra, senti,
io resto al pian, tu ascendere
il sacro monte or devi.
Le mie grazie ricevi.
Mai non curvasti il logoro
dorso ai ricchi ed ai potenti.
Passâr nelle tue tasche
come in antri tranquilli
filosofi e poeti.
Ora che i giorni lieti
fuggîr, ti dico: addio,
fedele amico mio.
Addio, addio.

It is a pleasure to see Carlo Colombara will be Colline in La Boheme, 2012 Salzburg Festspiegle, with Anna Netrebko going back to Mimi. I know I will not go to Salzburg this Summer. So I will not see Carlo and Anna...in this prestigious cast! I keep my eyes open to eventually find him in Italy, not too far from Provence... next year, or another year!
