Summary:
There's a good reason La traviata is one of the best-known, and best-loved, operas of all time. Verdi's exquisite music conveys every bit of emotion felt by the gorgeous, successful Parisian courtesan Violetta (Angela Gheorghiu). From the frenzy of her pleasure-filled life, to the suddenness with which she falls in love with handsome young Alfredo (Jonas Kaufmann in his Met debut season and role), to the heart-rending decision to leave him for the sake of his family--Verdi's opera tells of true love, taken to its altruistic, poignant height. Anthony Michaels-Moore is Alfredo's manipulative father, Germont.
Contents:
Preludio
Dell'invito trascorsa è già l'ora
Libiamo ne' lieti clici (The drinking song)
Che è ciò?
Un dì felice, eterea
Ebben? Che diavol fate?
Si ridesta in ciel l'aurora
È strano! Ah, fors'è lui che l'anima
Follie! Follie! Sempre libera
Lunge da lei
De' miei bollenti spiriti
Annina, donde vieni? O mio rimorso!
Alfredo? Per Parigi on partiva
Pura siccome un angelo
Non sapete quale affetto
Un dì, quando le veneri
Ah! Dite alla giovine
Imponete
Dammi tu forza, o cielo
Ah, vive sol quel core
Di Provenza il mar, il suol
Avrem lieta di maschere la notte
Noi siamo Zingarelle
Alfredo! Voi!
Invitato a qui seguirmi
Di sprezzo degno se stesso rende
Alfredo, Alfredo, di questo core
Preludio
Annina?
Teneste la promessa
Addio del passato
Largo al quadrupede (Bacchanale)
Signora ; Parigi, o cara, noi lasceremo
Ah non più
Ah! gran Dio! Morir sì giovine
Ah, Violetta?
Prendi, quest'è l'immagine.
