An Aria A Day #83
BRADLEY COOPER
‘Dein ist mein ganzes Herz’
from The Land of Smiles
by Franz Lehár
Piano Narelle French
Quarantined in Sydney, tenor Bradley Cooper offers us a dose of Austrian charm with ‘Dein ist mein ganzes Herz’ (‘Yours Is My Heart Alone’) by Austrian-Hungarian composer Franz Lehár.
From the 1929 operetta ‘The Land of Smiles’, the aria was originally composed for tenor Richard Tauber. Audiences at home may recognise the melody, as the aria has been performed in Italian by the likes of Giuseppe Di Stefano, Mario Del Monaco, and Luciano Pavarotti.
