Song Meaning (Interpretation) of “Rodelinda / Act 3: Mio caro, caro bene” by George Frideric Handel
This song from George Frideric Handel’s opera Rodelinda is a heartfelt and passionate love duet between two characters, Rodelinda and Bertarido. They use language of endearment as they declare their undying love for each other. The melodic and tender music expressing the couple’s deep and abiding love, as they exchange vows of eternal devotion. The soaring strings, delicate rippling of harpsichords, and plaintive oboe, reflect the inner world of two lovers in serenity and joy. This aria is a timeless testament to the beauty and power of love, stirring a sense of hope in the futility and fleetingness of life.
