I wrote about this aria several years ago in my own blog. Renée Fleming, in voluptuous voice, is luxury casting for a sequence of songs and arias—with one of her party pieces, Rusalka’s “Song to the Moon”, making a welcome appearance. I’ve been rehearsing most of my weekend repertoire and for the Scots Song competition on the 19th November. May you have a long and illustrious career.Charlotte, do you know where we can get the music score in Italian? After saying her prayer, Rusalka makes her way to the Jezibaba's hut. I imagine you will do a splendid job in this aria, having listened to your voice in other recordings on here. I’ll see what I can do about recording it or get my Dad to at the concert :).Hello Charlotte, What a beautiful post!

Can’t wait to hear you sing it! My favorite rendition of all time is by Frederica Von Stade, who just seems to carry that longing in her voice that compliments the emotion of the aria.
