About This Song
About "La traviata / Act 2 : Verdi: La traviata / Act 2: "Un dì, quando le veneri"" by Cheryl Studer
A memory of youth and pleasure, sung with bittersweet elegance. The melody lilts like a waltz fading into dusk, but Studer's undercurrent of loss turns nostalgia into a knife. Verdi lets the past bloom in the present—a garden of delights that you already know is doomed.
