As Atticus and Felicia rush to confront Eslami with the lawsuit, they encounter Violetta and Gian Carlo. A flustered Felicia drops a headshot. Violetta recognizes the evidence and shares her fears with Gian Carlo before exiting the stage. Gian Carlo, now alone, wonders if this is the end of the opera company, the end of an era, and the end of his career. He sings a very slow and melancholy rock ballad to the tune of Puccini’s “E lucevan le stelle.” Strangers walk in front of him on a crowded street as he goes completely unnoticed.
