Based on the novel and play La Dame aux Camélias by Alexandre Dumas, Jr., La Traviata is one of the ten most popular operas in the repertoire. The story was immortalized in the classic movie Camille starring Greta Garbo and later given popular updates in Pretty Woman and Moulin Rouge. Listen for the famous “Drinking Song” and Sempre libera aria. This vivid “slice of life” is loosely based on actual events that took place between Alexandre Dumas, Jr., and his lover Marie Duplessis. The story revolves around the relationship between the stunningly beautiful but frail courtesan Violetta Valéry and her lover the well-born Alfredo Germont. Alfredo’s father thwarts their relation-ship which leads to the opera’s heart-wrenching climax. Don’t miss this romantic tale of love, passion, and betrayal.
