Singing ‘Ecco: respiro appena...’ from Adriana Lecouvreur

Singing the famous and beautifully moving aria ‘Ecco: respiro appena...’ (Look here; I’m scarcely breathing…) from Act 1 of Adriana Lecouvreur is like compressing, squeezing and summarizing the essence of human existence into three minutes.

Singing Adriana, following her emotional journey of pure love, faithfulness, humility, arts and morality in an opera otherwise hallmarked by rivalry, ambition, power, intrigue, betrayal, deception, revenge and the tragedy of death comes with great responsibility: the responsibility of sharing my positive interpretation of love being always stronger than death..
