Libretto:
Porgi, amor, qualche ristoro
al mio duolo, a' miei sospir.
O mi rendi il mio tesoro,
o mi lascia almen morir
English Translation:
O love, bring some relief
To my sorrow, to my sighs;
O give me back my loved one
Or in mercy let me die

Eleanor was such a versatile artist. She sang Donna Elvira and Donna Anna, the Countess and Fiordiligi, Violetta in Traviata, Elisabetta in Don Carlo and Tosca. She graduated from Sophie to the Marschallin in Rosenkavalier and created the title role in the Met's first ever production of Arabella. Samuel Barber wrote the title role of Vanessa for her and she was also the Met's first Marie in Wozzeck. That's quite a repertoire! This is beautifully sung. Is it from the live broadcast from the Metropolitan Opera in 1955 or a studio recording?
