Irina Arkhipova Lyubasha's aria - Tsar's Bride Act I Rimsky-Korsakov Arkhipova delivers a stunning unaccompanied aria. Her voice is just magnificent - lush, lyrical, dramatic and exquisitely controlled. Lyubasha is about to overhear her lover's plan to capture another woman using a magic love philter prepared by the wicked physician, Bomelius. Lyubasha's lover, Graznoy, is an Oprichnik, precursor to the KGB, and body guard to the Tsar. Here she sings, on command, for a gathering of drunken Oprichniks, who are silently moved by the beauty of her singing.
