By Titta Ruffo, BaritoneBy Pasquale Amato, Baritone Hoel: Twas on this self-same spot—a year ago When from the tempest an asylum my Dinorahsought; Within these arms I pressed her; and now! Dead!—ah! heaven, Ill not believe it yet! Look up again, dear angel, thy pardon I im-plore! Dinorah now opens her eyes and recognizes Hoel, her reason having been restoredby the shock. The reunited lovers go to the village, are greeted by their friends, and thecurtain falls on preparations for the wedding. 87 (In Italian) 88366 12-inch, $3.00(In Italian) 88473 12-inch, 3.00 (He anxiously watches Dinorah, who gradu-ally recovers.)Great heaven! my prayr hath risen unto thee!Yes! she breathes again; her eyes she opensBut why thus fixedly they gaze upon me?O heaven, I had forgottenThat grief of reason had bereft her!

First produced at Paris, March 11,1867; in London, at Her Majestys Theatre, June 4, 1867. Although it was revised andimproved by Verdi in 1883, it is seldom given nowadays. Revived at La Scala, Milan, in1912 and recently at Monte Carlo for Ruffo. Original Paris Cast Philip II Obin, Bass DON CARLOS Morere, Tenor MARQUIS DE POSA Faure, Baritone Grand Inquisitor Belval, Bass Elizabeth de Valois Sass, Soprano PRINCESS EPOLI Gueymard, Soprano Don Carlos belongs to the intermediate stage of Verdis career as a composer. Afterhis Trovatore, Traviata and Masked Ball had been produced, the younger musicians, influ-enced by the doctrines of Wagner which had reached Italy, began to protest against thecurrent style of Italian opera. Verdi, however, had already taken a step forward in DonCarlos, written for the Paris Opera, and it was enthusiastically received. Schillers mag
