One of the most beloved operas of all time, La Traviata is a lyrical drama in three acts by Giuseppe Verdi, set to an Italian libretto by Francesco Maria Piave and based on Alexandre Dumas’ 1848 novel, La dame aux Camélias. It was composed in the ground-breaking middle period of Verdi's operatic career, when he leapt to the forefront as one of the greatest operatic composers of all time. La Traviata is a touchingly beautiful tale of love, sacrifice and tragic death: Violetta, a courtesan to a wealthy baron in 1840s Paris, finds true love outside of society's moral strictures and pays a heavy price for her heart’s indiscretions. Containing some of Verdi’s most memorable operatic music, the opera leaves an indelible impression on anyone who experiences it.
