Susanna's aria 'Deh vieni, non tardar' from The Marriage of Figaro - Mozart | Classic FM

Irish soprano and Classic FM Rising Star Ava Dodd sings 'Deh vieni, non tardar' from Mozart's opera, The Marriage of Figaro. The seductive aria is sung by the character Susanna in the final act to tease Figaro, and was performed here as part of Classic FM's Rising Stars with Julian Lloyd Webber at the Battersea Arts Centre for Sky Arts. © Sky Arts | Classic FM, 2025 Text: Deh, vieni, non tardar, oh gioia bella, vieni ove amore per goder t'appella, finché non splende in ciel notturna face, finché l'aria è ancor bruna e il mondo tace. Qui mormora il ruscel, qui scherza l'aura, che col dolce sussurro il cor ristaura, qui ridono i fioretti e l'erba è fresca, ai piaceri d'amor qui tutto adesca. Vieni, ben mio, tra queste piante ascose, ti vo' la fronte incoronar di rose. Come, do not delay, oh bliss, Come where love calls thee to joy, While night's torch does not shine in the sky, While the air is still dark and the world quiet.
