La traviata - Act III (or Act II, Scene 2) Finale, sung by Callas, Valetti, & Zanasi (1958, CG)

La divina as Violetta is utterly heartbroken as Alfredo denounces her (Ogni suo aver tal femmina) and responds with profound sadness: "Alfredo, you can't imagine the love I have for you" (Alfredo, Alfredo, di questo core). This 1958 Covent Garden performance of La traviata is Maria Callas's most mature interpretively. She is supported by a soaring Alfredo in Cesare Valetti & a tremendously sympathetic Giorgio in Mario Zanasi. Nicolo Rescigno conducts.

Excerpts covered: Invitato a qui seguirmi... Ogni suo aver tal femmina.... Di sprezzo degno... Alfredo, Alfredo, di questo core

Thank you for uploading. However, this is act II-2.

@zmanoh Depends on which production (older ones presented La traviata in four acts). However, I have changed the title of the video to address your point. Thanks for pointing that out.

I think this is the scene where he throws money at her and she stands perfectly still, devastated.
