Edith Mathis - I no longer know what I am, what I do; this is a wonderful performance of the aria from the opera The Marriage of Figaro by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Edith Mathis was a Swiss opera singer, regarded as one of the most important sopranos of her generation. It is important to understand the historical and musical context of this opera. The Marriage of Figaro is one of the most important operatic works in history, written in the 18th century. The composer, Mozart, was an outstanding representative of the classical era, and this opera is one of the best examples of his masterful creativity. The aria "Non so più cosa son, cosa faccio" is a fragment from the first act of the opera. It is the moment when the character Cherubino, a young page serving Count Almaviva, expresses his infatuation with every woman on stage. Edith Mathis, performing this role, conveys innocence, charm, and emotion. Mathis's voice is characterized by excellent technique, purity of sound, and strong interpretive expression. Her performance of the aria is full of emotion, delicacy, and finesse. The artist perfectly reflects the composer's intentions, capturing both the joyful character of the opera and the subtle irony associated with the character of Cherubino.
