Presentation

La Traviata is one of the rare operas directly inspired by a contemporary work (La Dame aux Camélias), prefiguring the movement of the realist school.

La Traviata is one of the rare operas directly inspired by a contemporary work (The Lady of the Camellias), prefiguring the movement of the realist school. The score highlights the different facets of Verdi's work: the dramatic effectiveness of the music and the surprising harmonic, melodic and rhythmic effects, of which the prelude is an example. Here Verdi describes the very essence of the drama in contrast to the brilliant orchestration that evokes the heroine's frivolous, light-hearted life. Anticipating the conclusion, the two major themes of the work emerge: love and, above all, death. Violetta is the heroine of a novel, taking refuge in her flat emptied by creditors and who, in the joy of a too-late reunion with Alfredo and her father, dies in the arms of her lover.
