Summary note
Every ounce of searing emotion that Verdi lavished on his opera about love, betrayal, and its bitter consequences is brilliantly realized by James Levine's passionate conducting and his stellar cast. Plácido Domingo is at his most golden and ardent as Rodolfo, the son of Count Walter (Bonaldo Giaiotti), in love with the poor Luisa Miller (Renata Scotto). The count's henchman, Wurm (James Morris), blackmails and lies to prevent the marriage, but even Luisa's beloved father (Sherrill Milnes in a stunning performance) can't prevent the ultimate tragedy.

Sinfonia
Ti desta, Luisa, regina de'cori
Ecco mia figlia
Non temer-- Lo vidi, e'l primo palpito
T'amo d'amor ch'esprimere mal tenterebbe il detto!
Ferma ed ascolta-- Sacra la scelta
Costarti, o vecchio debole
Ah! fu giusto il mio sospetto!
Che mai narrasti!-- Il mio sangue, la vita darei
Padre - M'abbraccia-- Quale un sorriso
Duchessa, Duchessa tu m'appelli!-- Dal l'aule raggianti di vano splendor
Sciogliete i levrieri
Tu, tu, signor, fraqueste soglie!
Fra'mortali ancora oppressa
I cenni miei si compiano
Ah! Luisa, Luisa ove sei?
Il padre tuo ; Finisci
Tu puniscimi, o Signore
Qui nulla s'attenta imporre al tuo core
A brani, abrani, o perfido
Egli delira: sul mattin degli anni
L'alto retaggio non ho bramato-- O meco incolume
Vien la Duchessa!
Come celar le smanie del mio geloso amore?
Il foglio dunque?
Quando le sere al placido
Di me chiedeste?-- L'ara, o l'avello apprestami
Come in un giorno solo
Pallida, mesta sei!
La tomba è un letto sparso di fiori
Andrem, raminghi e poveri
Ah! l'ultima preghiera in questo caro suolo
Hai tu vergato questo foglio?
Piangi, piangi il tuo dolore più dell'ira è giusto
Donna, per noi terribile-- Pria che questa lampada si spenga
Ah! maledetto, maledetto il di ch'io nacqui
Padre, ricevi l'estremo addio-- Ah! vieni meco.
