LOUISE (1900)
Roman-musicale in four acts by Gustave Charpentier.
Above is the famous aria “Depuis le jour... où je me suis donée! ” sung by the soprano role of Louise in the beginning of the third act. Louise sings of her bliss and satisfaction with her new existence just outside of Paris - with her lover Julien, whom she truly adores.
Louise is sung by Marina Rebeka, and conducting is Michael Balke with the Sinfonieorchester St. Gallen. Recorded at the Tonhalle St. Gallen, Switzerland in 2019. This aria comes from Marina's new album titled “Elle”, released today (20/3/20). “Elle” is Marina's fourth studio album, which celebrates some of the most well-known arias of the female repertoire. The album was released by Prima Classics, a company founded by Marina herself, and is available on all digital streaming services and in physical forms. I wholeheartedly suggest you listen to this incredible new album, as it presents to us some of the best singing we have heard in decades.
I hereby present two links and the libretto for the aria -

[Libretto]:
Depuis le jour
Où je me suis donnée
Toute fleurie semble ma destinée
Je crois rêver sous
Un ciel de féerie
L'âme encore grisée
De ton premier baiser!
Quelle belle vie!
Mon rêve n'était pas un rêve!
Ah! je suis heureuse!
L'amour étend sur moi ses ailes!
Au jardin de mon coeur
Chante une joie nouvelle!
Tout vibre
Tout se réjouit de mon triomphe!
Autour de moi tout est sourire
Lumiére et joie!
Et je tremble délicieusement
Au souvenir charmant
Du premier jour D'amour!
Quelle belle vie!
Ah! je suis heureuse! trop heureuse...
Et je tremble délicieusement
Au souvenir charmant
Du premier jour D'amour!
