Coro di Matadori by Giuseppe Verdi — Lyrics
Di Madride noi siam mattadori,
siamo i prodi del circo dei tori,
testè giunti a godere del chiasso
che a Parigi si fa pel Bue grasso;
e una storia, se udire vorrete,
quali amanti noi siamo, saprete.Si, si, bravi; narrate, con piacere l'udremo.Ascoltate.È Piquillo un bel gagliardo biscaglino mattador;
forte il braccio, fiero il guardo, delle giostre egli è signor.
D'andalusa giovinetta follemente innamorò:
ma la bella ritrosetta così al giovane parlò:
"Cinque tori in un sol giorno vo' vederti ad atterrar;

About Coro di Matadori
Giuseppe Verdi's Coro di Matadori opens with a vibrant and dramatic flourish, reflecting the heroic and boisterous atmosphere of the bullfighting arena. This substantial choral work, scored for SSATTBB and SATTB voices, is a secular piece drawn from the world of opera. The text, in Italian, describes the prowess and daring of the matadors, celebrating their skill and courage. It also introduces a narrative element, telling the tale of a handsome matador named Piquillo and a challenge he undertakes. The music undoubtedly matches the spirit of the words, offering a powerful and exciting experience for both performers and listeners, fitting for a grand operatic scene.
