La Traviata – Arena di Verona Opera Festival 2021
Giuseppe Verdi composed the opera La Traviata in 1852, which deals with the story of the “lost the path”, i.e., a courtesan. After Rigoletto and Il Trovatore, another person plays the main role who has a questionable reputation in upper society.
The Italian sung opera La Traviata is one of the most famous operas of all. The story is based on the novel La dame aux camélias (The Lady of the Camellias) by Alexandre Dumas.
Francesco Maria Piave wrote the libretto for the drama in which the attractive Alfredo fell in love with the tuberculosis courtesan Violetta. As so often in the opera, it ends tragically with the death of the protagonist.
The opera premiered on March 6, 1853, at the Teatro La Fenice and there was a disaster. Verdi had dared to focus on the suffering of a person ostracized by society. It was an affront to aristocratic society, which was confronted with charges of immorality. Verdi saw himself and his relationship with his partner at the time, the singer Giuseppina Strepponi, from this perspective. Giuseppina Strepponi had several illegitimate children with Giuseppe Verdi and was therefore considered a “La Traviata” in society.
