  • I knew Dmitri would make a wonderful Germont! I must see him do this live.

  • a PERFECT Germont!! BRavo Dmitri!!!

  • 4:58 VIOLETTA Ah, no, never! Do you know the immense love that consumes me? That I have no friends, no relatives, and no one left in the world? And that Alfredo swore that he would be everything to me? Do you know how terribly sick I am? That the end is near? And you want to separate me from Alfredo? Ah, death would be less cruel (than to give up Alfredo).
  • 4:58 VIOLETTA Ah, no giammai! Non sapete quale affetto Vivo, immenso m'arda in petto? Che ne' amici, ne' parenti Io non conto tra i viventi? E che Alfredo m'ha giurato Che in lui tutto io trovero'? Non sapete che colpita D'altro morbo e' la mia vita? Che gia' presso il fin ne vedo? Ch'io mi separi da Alfredo? Ah, il supplizio e' si spietato, Che morir preferiro'.

    GERMONT

    Ah, dunque sperdasi

    Tal sogno seduttore

    Siate di mia famiglia

    L'angiol consolatore

    Violetta, deh, pensateci,

    Ne siete in tempo ancor.

    E' Dio che ispira, o giovine

    Tai detti a un genitor.

  • Germont:

    Please forget this seductive

    And wonderful Illusion

    Be the angel that

    Will rescue my family

    Violetta, think about it I am begging you, there's still time

    It's God who is inspiring me

    With these wordsGod, my child

    who is inspiring a father with these words

  • 7:20

    One day when time

    Has worn out all desire

    Boredom will replace love

    What will happen then? Think

    The most tender of affections

    Will not be a balm,

    And will offer no consolation

    For God will not have bless your union

  • This is divine Germont!

  • 3:12 Germont:Pura siccome un angelo Iddio mi die' una figlia; Se Alfredo nega riedere In seno alla famiglia, L'amato e amante giovane, Cui sposa andar dovea, Or si ricusa al vincolo Che lieti ne rendea Deh, non mutate in triboli Le rose dell'amor. Ai preghi miei resistere Non voglia il vostro cor.
  • 7:20 GERMONT Un di', quando le veneri Il tempo avra' fugate, Fia presto il tedio a sorgere Che sara' allor? pensate Per voi non avran balsamo I piu' soavi affetti| Poiche' dal ciel non furono Tai nodi benedetti. VIOLETTA E' vero!
