YouTube Clip of the Week
To familiarize you with Antony and Cleopatra and indeed Barber's musical style we will take a look at Cleopatra’s aria “Give me my robe”. In the final moments of the opera, Cleopatra muses on her love for Antony, who has killed himself. Feeling all is lost, she kills herself with the bite of a poisonous snake, an asp.
We'll see a concert performance of the aria as performed by American soprano Carol Vaness.
