Description
In this cavatina from Kurt Weill’s ‘Broadway Opera’, returning home late one evening by moonlight Rose has to defend herself from the advances of her boss and companion Mr. Easter. He promises her a glittering career on Broadway if she agrees to become his lover. In her own way, she informs him that she is not so interested in a Broadway star’s glamorous life of luxury and would prefer to wait for true love: ‘I’d rather have two loving arms. What good would the moon be, unless the right one shared its beams.’ This is certainly one of the finest rejections in operatic history!
