On a side note: this citation for this aria was in one of Lea Ann's notes re: repertoire suggested by her teacher for the upcoming studio recital. Needless to say, I was really horrified that a singer would suggest anything to a student who was singing the other repertoire that Lea Ann mentioned. That was my first clue...
