Aria Of The Day

Soprano Patricia Racette sings Ellen Orford's Embroidery Aria in Benjamin Britten's Peter Grimes.

Soprano Lucia Popp sings " Depuis le jour" from Charpentier's Louise.

Baritone Philip Kalmonovitch sings Pierrot's Tanzlied  "Mein sehnen, mein wähnen" from Korngold's Die tote Stadt.

Soprano Jessye Norman sings Voi lo sapete, O mamma from Mascagni's Cavalleria Rusticana

EDIT: I just put in a few in the queue, if you all don't mind, I saw a master class of all the young artists at VA opera a week ago, and this is just me going down the list and posting the arias they performed.

Tenor Herbert Ernest Groh sings Prince Sou-Chong's aria "Dein ist mein ganzes herz" from The Land of Smiles (Das Land des Lächelns), an opera by Franz Lehár

Soprano Denise Duval sings several arias from Francis Poulenc's operas.  "Oh! Mon père, cessons ce jeu, par pitié" from Dialogues des Carmélites, "Tu as raison. Si, je t'écoute..." from La Voix humaine, and "Non, Monsieur mon mari!" from Les Mamelles de Tirésias.  As an added bonus, Poulenc himself is at the piano.

I love you, please submit anything if you wish!  Or send me singers or operas or arias or anything you wish to share at all!

Mezzo-Soprano Elena Obraztsova sings Charlotte's aria, "Va! Laisse couler mes larmes," from Massenet's Werther

Not completely sure if this is an aria, but it should be.  I just saw The Pearlfishers with VA Opera and was floored by this aria (had to share).  This is Soprano Anna Moffo singing Leila's aria, "O Dieu Brahma" from Bizet's Le Pecheurs de Perles.

Mezzo-Soprano Joyce Didonato sings "Desterò dall'empia dite" from Handel's Amadigi di Gaula

Soprano Montserrat Caballe sings Micaela's aria, "Je dis que rien ne m'épouvante" from Act III of Bizet's Carmen
