Hercules - Where shall I fly?

American mezzosoprano Joyce Di Donato (as Dejanira) sings "Where shall I fly?" from Händel's Hercules, HWV 60. Aix-en-Provence, 2004. Les Arts Florissants, conductor: William Christie. WHERE SHALL I FLY? (Dejanira, Recitativo accompagnato) "Where shall I fly? Where hide this guilty head? Oh fatal error of misguided love! Oh cruel Nessus, how art thou revenged! Wretched I am! By me Alcides dies! These impious hands have sent my injured lord untimely to the shades! Let me be mad! Chain me, ye furies, to your iron beds. And lash my guilty ghosts with whips of scorpions! See! See! They come! Alecto with her snakes, Megaera fell, and black Tisiphone! See the dreadful sisters rise. Their baneful presence taints the skies! See the snaky whips they bear! What yellings rend my tortured ear!"
