MARINO FALIERO
Act III , scene V, Elena's aria & cabaletta
ELENA
Dio clemente, ah mi perdona,
rea son io, pregar non oso.
Ah, se il cielo m'abbandona,
senza madre e senza sposo,
io deserta, sciagurata,
dove i passi volgerò?
Ah, Dio clemente, mi perdona,
rea son io, pregar non oso.
senza madre e senza sposo,
dove i passi volgerò?
IRENE
Deh ti placa, o sventurata.
ELENA
Son l'orror della natura!
CORO
L'infelice è disperata!
ELENA
Il tenor di ria ventura
giorno e notte piangerò!
IRENE
Nel tenor di tua sventura
sempre teco io resterò.
TUTTE
Deh, ti placa, o sventurata,
sempre teco io piangerò!
ELENA
Fernando! Faliero!
Fra due tombe, tra due spettri
i miei giorni passeranno;
una spada ed una scure
a me innanzi ognor staranno;
sotto i passi un mar di sangue
i suoi flutti innalzerà.
Solo a me spietato il fato
una tomba negherà.
CORO
Fia per lei la morte adesso
non supplizio, ma pietà!

Marino Faliero, Doge of Venice is a blank verse tragedy in five acts by Lord Byron, published and first performed in 1821.
Marino Faliero, the opera, is a tragedia lirica, or tragic opera, in three acts by Gaetano Donizetti. Giovanni Emanuele Bidera wrote the Italian libretto, with revisions by Agostino Ruffini, after Casimir Delavigne's play, inspired by Byron's drama and based on the life of Marino Faliero (c.1285-1355), the Venetian Doge.
Synopsis
Venice, 1355
Act 1
Elena, the wife of Marin Faliero, Doge of Venice, is continually subjected to attacks on her reputation by the patrician Steno whose advances she has rejected. Steno then insults Israele Bertucci, the chief of the Venetian Arsenal in front of his workers. Steno is punished for these offenses, but Faliero is infuriated by the leniency of the punishment. At the Doge's Palace, Israele convinces Faliero to join a conspiracy against the Council of Forty, of which Steno is a member. Elena and her lover Fernando, Faliero's nephew, decide to part. He will leave the city to save her from dishonour. She gives him a veil to remember her by. The climax of the act takes place at a masked ball in the palace when Fernando challenges Steno to a duel for having insulted Elena once again.
Act 2
The duel having taken place, Fernando is found dying near the Basilica dei Santi Giovanni e Paolo, where the conspirators were to meet. Faliero vows to avenge his death.
Act 3
The conspiracy collapses following a betrayal by one of its members and the Doge is condemned to death at a trial in the Doge's Palace. Before his execution, Elena confesses her love affair with Fernando to him. Faliero begins to curse her, but sensing that his death is imminent, pardons her instead. Faliero is led off. Alone on the stage, Elena hears the sound of the executioner's axe, screams and faints.
