As he sings he looks at a painting of the man he once trusted. He is almost unable to believe that he has been betrayed. As well as finding his way technically through the aria, which requires considerable stamina, the singer has to consider its acting problems. What's going on in the character's mind? Does he need to convey decision as well as emotion? Is there a dramatic turning point to be marked ?
