Anna Netrebko nails the Olympic women’s triathlon of Italian opera, the last ten minutes of the first act of Giuseppe Verdi’s La Traviata: “Ah, fors’è lui” followed by “Follie! Delirio vano è questo!”, concluding with “Sempre libera”. Briefly accompanied by her best-known operatic partner, Rolando Villazón.
From the same production, a stunning “Libiamo”.
And the answer to his question is yes (it certainly did for me …)

Oh my, you’ve got a great deal to learn about great singing.
Good luck.
