🎼 Cecilia Bartoli – “Non più mesta” | Rossini’s La Cenerentola

Cecilia Bartoli performs one of the most spectacular and beloved finales in Gioachino Rossini’s opera La Cenerentola (Cinderella): “Non più mesta.”

At the end of the opera, Angelina (Cenerentola) has finally overcome her suffering and found happiness with Prince Don Ramiro. Rather than seeking revenge on those who mistreated her, she chooses forgiveness and compassion, celebrating her new life with joy.

“Non più mesta” is a brilliant example of Rossini’s bel canto style, featuring dazzling coloratura, rapid scales, intricate ornamentation, and virtuosic passages. The aria demands exceptional vocal agility, breath control, precision, and expressive musicality.

Cecilia Bartoli’s interpretation combines extraordinary technical brilliance with warmth, spontaneity, and dramatic character, bringing Angelina’s transformation from a mistreated young woman into a confident and joyful heroine vividly to life.
