Our violin and cello duet of Una Furtiva Lagrima ( A Furtive Tear) by Donezetti is now available. This hauntingly beautiful tune is the most famous aria from Donizetti’s opera L’Elisir D’Amore ( The Love Potion) and it seems incongrous that it comes from a comic opera as it completely transcends its context.
The plot of the opera
L’Elisir D’Amore tells the story of a village boy called Nemorino who falls in love with Adina. To win her affection he buys a ‘love potion’ from a visiting quack doctor – not realising that it only contains wine.
About our arrangement
In our arrangement the cello has the tune for a great deal of the time – reflecting the fact that it is a tenor aria. You can buy our duet of the aria here:
