Japan's Eri Nakamura performs Eccomi in lieta vesta - Oh! quante volte from Bellini's I Capuleti e i Montecchi, in the final of the 2009 BBC Cardiff Singer of the World competition.

Giulietta loves Romeo, but is being forced to marry Tebaldo. In her beautiful wedding dress, she feels like a sacrificial victim ready to be led to the altar, and would prefer to be sacrificed than married to a man she does not love. She longs for Romeo to come to her aid.
