Countertenor Lucas Ludwig Coura sings Arsace's Act I aria "Ah! Quel giorno ognor rammento" from Gioachino Rossini's Semiramide.

Aria:
Ah! That day I always remember,
Of my glory, and of happiness,
From those barbarous powers,
I saved her life and honor!

I stole her in this arm,
From her vile captors!
I felt her heartbeat against my heart...

She opened her eyes... She saw me... She smiled at me... And her heart pounded!

Oh, how on that day everything for me changed!
That look kidnapped me, yes, this soul is set ablaze!
The heavens have opened themselves to me, love has animated me,
Azema... and that day... I'll never be able to forget!
