Agostino Steffani (1654-1728) Niobe, Regina di Tebe (1688) Act II. Scene XI-XII. Charles Robert Stephens, Tiresia Philippe Jaroussky, Anfione Boston Early Music Festival Orchestra, dir. Paul O'Dette and Steven Stubbs Live recording Boston Early Music Festival 2011 ******* Picture: Set Model for Act I. by Gilbert Blin, photo by Rémy-Michel Trotier ******* ANFIONE Tù mi laceri il Core. TIRESIA Ch'a tè venga imponesti, Perche il ver ti riveli. ANFIONE Creonte dunque? TIRESIA Sì. ANFIONE Il Tessalo nemico? TIRESIA Egli. ANFIONE Con Magich'opre? TIRESIA Arti di Poliferno. ANFIONE M'abbagliò? TIRESIA Le Pupille. ANFIONE Mi confuse? TIRESIA La mente. ANFIONE Et in mezzo à Fantasmi? TIRESIA Di strane illusioni. ANFIONE Mi rapí? TIRESIA La Consorte. ANFIONE Empio ardir. TIRESIA Grave inganno. ANFIONE E resisto all'affanno? TIRESIA In mezzo à mille incanti Il piè raggiri; i Numi Così de lor disprezzi Vendican l'onte. De Numi la legge È scorta à chi regge, Ogn'hora fedel. Di vana grandezza Si vanta chi sprezza I Dogmi del Ciel. De Numi, &c. ANFIONE Et ancor neghittosi Ve ne state à tant'huopo Spirti del Regio sdegno? Del tradimento indegno Sù sù cadan gl'Autori in mar di sangue; Sù alla strage de gl'Empi, Per far miei di felici, Corran le Furie mie vendicatrici. Trà Bellici carmi Risvegliati all'armi Invitto mio Cor. ******* Translation by Ellen Hargis: ANFIONE You cut me to the Heart. TIRESIA You have commanded me to come to you In order to reveal the truth. ANFIONE Creonte then? TIRESIA Yes. ANFIONE The enemy of Thebes? TIRESIA Him. ANFIONE With works of Magic? TIRESIA Poliferno's arts. ANFIONE He blinded... TIRESIA Your Eyes. ANFIONE He confused... TIRESIA Your mind. ANFIONE And in the midst of Apparitions? TIRESIA Of strange illusions. ANFIONE He stole... TIRESIA YourWife. ANFIONE Wicked audacity! TIRESIA Grave deception! ANFIONE And I must suffer this pain? TIRESIA In the midst of a thousand enchantments You wandered; thus the Gods Avenged the shame Of their scorn. The law of the Gods Is an always-faithful guide To him who reigns. He can only boast of vain grandeur Who disdains The dogmas of Heaven. The law of the Gods, etc. ANFIONE And still you remain Senseless of this disdain, Spirits of the Realm? Come, come, may the Authors Of this disgraceful betrayal fall in a sea of blood; Come, to the slaughter of the Wicked, To make my days happy, The Furies run, my avengers. With warlike rhymes, Reawaken my invincible Heart To arms.
