LA TRAVIATA • Teatro La Fenice, Venice | September 10, 2023
Venice, the city built on water. Blessed with a historic opera house, the Teatro La Fenice, the most famous and renowned landmark in the history of Italian theatre. It was lost to fire 3 times, and always rebuilt. Hence the name La Fenice, the Phoenix, the bird rising from the ashes.
Venice is a very unique place in the world. It is so different and beautiful that it is hard to grasp unless you have been and felt it. First-time visitors are best advised to arrive well prepared and guided.
LA TRAVIATA • Sunday 10 September 2023 • Teatro La Fenice, Venice
La traviata • September 10 to October 13, 2023
Giuseppe Verdi’s opera La Traviata will be performed from September 10, 2023 to October 13, 2023 at the Teatro la Fenice in Venice.
Giuseppe Verdi composed the opera La Traviata in 1852, which tells the story of a courtesan who “lost their way”. After Rigoletto and Il Trovatore, the leading role is again played by a person who has a questionable reputation in high 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 has fallen in love with the tuberculosis-stricken courtesan Violetta. As so often in the opera, this ends tragically with the death of the protagonist.
The opera premiered at the Teatro La Fenice on March 6, 1853 and it was a disaster. Verdi dared to focus on the suffering of a person ostracized by society. This was an affront to aristocratic society, which faced accusations of immorality. Verdi saw himself and his relationship at the time with his partner, 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.
The first opera season of the reconstructed Teatro La Fenice opened in November 2004 with the Verdi opera La Traviata in a production by Robert Carsen. The production was so successful that it was revived in 2007 and has become a classic in the Teatro La Fenice repertoire.
