Leonie Rysanek: Verdi - MacBeth, 'Vieni! t'affretta! Or tutti sorgete, ministri infernali'

Leopoldine "Leonie" Rysanek (14 November 1926 - 7 March 1998) was an Austrian dramatic soprano. Rysanek was born in Vienna and made her operatic debut in 1949 in Innsbruck. In 1951 the Bayreuth Festival reopened and the new leader Wieland Wagner asked her to sing Sieglinde. He was convinced that her unique, young and beautiful voice, combined with her rare acting abilities, would create a sensation. She became a star overnight, and the role of Sieglinde followed her for the rest of her career... en.wikipedia.or....
Lyrics & English Translation
Macbeth, you are an ambitious man.
You want to be great, but will you be wicked?
The way to the power is full of crimes,
And plague on him
That begins that way doubting and then goes back.
Come on! Hurry up!
I will fire your cold heart!
I will make you able
To complete the bold undertaking.
The witches promise you
The Scottish throne...
What are you waiting for?
Accept this gift! Ascend it and reign!
Now arise,
All you,
Ministers of hell,
Who incite,
Spur mortals to bloodshed!
You, rightfully...
Enshroud us with thick darkness!
Let the dagger not see the breast it strikes, etc.
Now arise all!
