This promotional recording presents Martin Enger Holm performing “Una furtiva lagrima”, Nemorino’s famous aria from Gaetano Donizetti’s opera L’elisir d’amore. The video forms part of Martin’s professional portfolio and is used for international opera applications and auditions.
The aria is regarded as one of the defining works of the lyric tenor repertoire, requiring warmth of tone, refined bel canto technique and expressive interpretation. It captures Nemorino’s emotional realisation that his love may finally be returned, making it one of opera’s most beloved tenor moments.
Together with recordings from Mozart, Tchaikovsky and other composers, this performance demonstrates Martin’s versatility across the Italian bel canto and classical repertoire.
