About This Song

About "Don Carlo, IGV 7, Act I: "Fontainbleau! Foresta immensa e solitaria!" (Don Carlo)" by Covent Garden Orchestra

Don Carlo’s first aria is a study in solitary longing. The orchestra paints a vast, shadowy forest—‘Foresta immensa e solitaria’—as the tenor’s voice trembles between awe and anxiety, a prince lost in both landscape and heart.
