GIUSEPPE VERDI

La Traviata

Melodrama in three acts by Francesco Maria Piave

Third masterpiece of the popular trilogy, La traviata is considered one of the most significant works of the genius of Verdi. The subject is that of Alexandre Dumas son, the controversial “La dame aux camélias”, which the composer decided to set bravely in the contemporary era. The first performance, staged at the Fenice in Venice in 1853, was a resounding failure not only for the poor quality of the singers, but especially for the audacity of the subject and the modernity of the score. Here Verdi eliminates the usual overture and composes two orchestral preludes (in the first and third acts) that accurately and subtly describe the emotional atmosphere that will develop throughout the opera.

The story deals with the love affair of Violetta, a clever worldly woman, and Alfredo, her dispassionate admirer. Only with him the woman will find herself in love for the first time, but to oppose their union will first be Germont, the father of Alfredo, and then the disease that will lead Violetta inexorably to death.

COMPOSER

Giuseppe Verdi

Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901) is the opera composer to whom the Italian identity is most closely linked, because during his long career he has intoned the most intimate feelings and values of a fragmented country that with its music and lyrics has learned to speak Italian.

Among the favorite themes from the maestro of Busseto also the various contradictions inherent in the parent-child relationship, interpreted by masterpieces such as Rigoletto, Il trovatore, La traviata, Simon Boccanegra, Luisa Miller.
