Condotta

I realize I've written a lot about working on the aria "Condotta Ell'Era in Ceppi" but have never posted a link to it.  Here is an absolutely mind-blowing version with the great Fiorenza Cossotto, who sang the role in the 70s.

Only thing is I think her wig is a bit inappropriate.  Azucena is a gypsy living in 15th Century Spain who sleeps outdoors in the dirt and I'm sure she doesn't even have a mirror, let alone a hairdresser!
