Here is the set from the Torre del Lago production.
It’s one of my favourite bits of Puccini and ‘Quello ce tacete’ one my favourite arias. It us sung by the outllaw Dick Johnson to Minnie.
Quello che tacete me l’ha già detto il cuore quando il braccio v’ho offerto alla danza con me, quando contro il mio petto sentendovi tremare ho provato una gioia strana, una nuova pace che ridire non so!
I shall attempt a translation.
That which silenced you has already said to my heart, when you offered your arm at the dance to me, when I felt you tremble against my chest, has proved a strange joy, a new peace, which I don’t understand.
