The Muse in Zurich — Clarina Bezzola

Zurich

Zurich, here I come!

While walking through the crowd she's singing Musetta's aria from Puchini's opera La Boheme:
Quando men vo soletta per la via,
When I walk all alone in the street,

In front of the Zurich Opera House

Ed assaporo allor la bramosia
And then I taste the slight yearning
Sott'il, che da gli occhi traspira
which transpires from their eyes

Photography: Kate Buxton, 2012

You've been waiting!

E dai palesi vezzi intender sa
and which is able to perceive from manifest charms
Alle occulte beltà.
to most hidden beauties.

Photography: Kate Buxton, 2012

Oh, you are all so charming!!

Così l'effluvio del desìo
So the scent of desire is all around me,

Photography: Willi Kracher, 2012

SINGIN TO THE STATUE OF ULRICH ZWINGLI THE REFORMATOR OF ZURICH

E tu che sai, che memori e ti struggi
And you, while knowing, reminding and longing,
Da me tanto rifuggi?
You shrink from me?

Photography: Willi Kracher, 2012

Aren't they lovely?

Photography: Kate Buxton, 2012

Coming from school, boy?

Photography: Kate Buxton, 2012

Let's run away together...

So ben:
I know it very well:

Photography: Willi Kracher, 2012

Make way for me!

Le angoscie tue non le vuoi dir,
You don't want to express your anguish,

Photography: Willi Kracher

You're dying of desire?

Ma ti senti morir!
But you feel as if you're dying!

Photography: Kate Buxton, 2012

THIS IS MUSETTA!

Photography: Kate Buxton, 2012

I'll take her...

Ed assaporo allor la bramosia
And then I taste the slight yearning

Photography: Willi Kracher, 2012

You better watch out, she's near!!

E tu che sai, che memori e ti struggi
And you, while knowing, reminding and longing,

Photography: Willi Kracher, 2012

Got you!

Da me tanto rifuggi?
You shrink from me?

Photography: Willi Kracher, 2012

The taste of yearning...

Ed assaporo allor la bramosia
And then I taste the slight yearning

Photography: Kate Buxton, 2012

She want's him!

Ma ti senti morir!
But you feel as if you're dying!

Photography: Willi Kracher, 2012

Così l'effluvio del desìo
So the scent of desire is all around me,
