Summary
In this mini concert, I sing an aria from the opera, "Abduction from the Seraglio" by Mozart. It's a bit different than the normal opera aria, but I thought it would be fun to try and make you feel like you were in a Quarren concert!

Hello beautiful ladies and welcome to today's video where we're going to be doing a mini
00:00:11.140
So as I was sitting in quarantine with my husband I thought to myself I haven't really
00:00:15.380
shared that much music with you guys. I've done a little bit on my Instagram stories
00:00:19.100
but not on my channel so I thought I would record an aria for you guys, get all dressed
00:00:24.100
up as if I'm in concert and try and simulate the feeling that you guys are actually seeing
00:00:29.260
me live. Of course there are a lot of limitations when you're doing a mini concert like this.
00:00:34.460
I'm using an app called App Companist. That's a fantastic app if you're looking for accompaniment
00:00:39.040
while you're singing. So you'll see at the beginning of the video I kind of lean up from
00:00:43.220
my my iPad so that I could start the recording and as well I'm using music to sing from because
00:00:49.100
I wanted to try something that I'm a little bit less familiar with but I thought it would be fun
00:00:53.500
to share it with you guys. So the aria that I'm singing is from an opera by Mozart called
00:00:57.400
Abduction from the Seraglio and I was actually in it with Opera Omaha just a few months ago
00:01:02.920
and the aria I'm singing she has been abducted by a Pasha and is singing about how lovelorn
00:01:08.320
she is and how she misses the love of her life and it's all very comedic so even though these
00:01:13.040
are very serious concepts it's all kind of funny and she's very dramatic so I thought it would be
00:01:18.120
fun to play into that dramatic side of her character while I was singing this. So I thought
00:01:23.580
that I would read you guys the translation before we get into the video and then we'll
00:01:27.600
just hop right in. So the translation of the aria is,
00:01:30.680
Ah, I was so in love, was so happy. I knew nothing of love's pain, promised to be true
00:01:37.680
to my beloved and gave him my whole heart. But how quickly my joy deserted me. Separation
00:01:43.980
was my unhappy lot and now my eyes are overflowing with tears. Sorrow dwells in my heart.
