»La Traviata« marks the conclusion of the masterful operatic triad that Verdi wrote in the years 1850-52. Once again he was inspired by an outsider figure: After the fool in »Rigoletto« and the gypsy Azucena in »Trovatore«, the courtesan Violetta Valéry is a character at the center of the opera whose charisma even surpasses that of her predecessors. The Parisian half-world is the setting of this story about the unconditional and hopeless love between Alfred Germont and the terminally ill Violetta, a love that is not only confronted with death from the beginning, but also with the norms of bourgeois morality and family honor.

But it is only through Verdi's music that the major themes of love, death and morality come into their own within the plot. Verdi composed less the morbid charm of the holy whore, the passion of the young bourgeois lover, the twilight of the milieu and the morality of the father than the interaction of all these moments. His most popular opera is about more than the ordeal of an outsider: unstable mental inner worlds and social conditions are drastically confronted with one another.
