Performed by Placido Domingo
“Libiamo ne’ lieti calici” (Italian pronunciation: [liˈbjaːmo nɛ ˈljɛːti ˈkaːlitʃi]; “Let’s drink from the joyful cups”) is a famous duet with chorus from Verdi’s La traviata, one of the best-known opera melodies and a popular performance choice (as is this opera itself) for many great tenors. The song is a brindisi, a lively song that encourages the drinking of wine or other alcoholic beverages.
