South Korea's Hye Jung Lee performs Tornami a vagheggiar from Handel's Alcina, in the final of the 2011 Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Cardiff Singer of the World competition.
Last updated: 19 June 2011
Alcina is a sorceress who has fallen in love with the knight Ruggiero and held him captive on her magical island. Bradamante is Ruggiero's fiancΓ©e and has come disguised as her brother to rescue him, but Alcina has cast a spell on Ruggiero to make him believe that 'he' is his love rival. Alcina declares her power over Ruggiero, commanding him to stay with her in this brilliant aria.
