About This Song
About "La traviata / Act II : Verdi: La traviata / Act II: "Non sapete quale affetto"" by Anna Netrebko
A tender inquiry becomes a trapdoor: 'Non sapete quale affetto' coils warmth around a lie. The melody sways like a candle flame in a draft, Netrebko's voice both soothing and sinister, as Violetta's secret affection for Alfredo strains against the elder Germont's calculated sympathy.
