In this opera, Giorgio tries to comfort his son with reminders of his ancestral home after he receives a farewell letter from his lover in the aria “Di Provenza il mar.” After declaring his love, one character in this opera receives a camellia and is told to return when it wilts. After another character refuses to give a toast, Alfredo sings the brindisi“Libiamo (10[1])ne’ lieti calici” ("leeb-YAH-mo nay-lyeh-tee ka-lee-chee") in this opera. The title character of this opera resolves to “frolic from joy to joy” in the cabaletta “Sempre Libera” and later has money won from a gambling table thrown at her feet. For 10 points, name this Giuseppe Verdi opera about the courtesan Violetta Valéry (-5[1])dying of tuberculosis. ■END■
