What is vi ravviso o luoghi ameni?

"Vi ravviso, o luoghi ameni" is an aria from Act II of the opera "La Sonnambula" by Italian composer Vincenzo Bellini. It is sung by the male protagonist, Count Rodolfo, who has just recognized his fiancée, Amina, who he believed to be unfaithful, in the midst of a crowd of villagers. In the aria, Rodolfo expresses his joy at recognizing Amina and describes the beauty of the surrounding countryside.

The aria, translated into English as "I recognize you, oh lovely places," is known for its lyrical and tender melody, which is accompanied by a gentle and pastoral orchestration. It is often performed by tenors as a showcase for their vocal range and expressiveness.

"La Sonnambula" premiered in Milan in 1831 and has since become one of Bellini's most beloved operas. "Vi ravviso, o luoghi ameni" is one of the highlights of the work and captures the romantic and idyllic spirit of the opera.
