La traviata Verdi6

Opera based on the world-famous novel by A. Dumas Lady with Camellias. La traviata (loosely lost, lost, the one who got out of the way) is one of the most famous works of the Italian opera great Giuseppe Verdi (1813 - 1901). The work was based on a libretto by Francesco Maria Piave, who was inspired by the well-known work of Alexander Dumas Jr. (1824 - 1895) Lady with camellias. The model of the novel and the opera was a real person, the famous Parisian courtesan Marie Duplessis. Her name was changed in the novel to Marguerite Gautier in the opera Violetta Valéry. The composer was thrilled with the Lady of the Camellias. The story and the place where it took place were close to him - after all, in some ways it resembled his own life: he maintained an "illegal" relationship with a close friend and performer of his early works, soprano Giuseppina Strepponi, from 1847 until her death. The premiere of the opera took place in Venice at the La Fenice Theater on March 6, 1853 and was a fiasco. The audience completely failed - probably also because the main character was played by a courtesan who was supposed to arouse sympathy and compassion. No one, not even Verdi himself, seemed to believe at the time that one of the greatest evergreens in opera literature had been born. This was not confirmed until further study in 1854. After Troubadour and Rigoletto, La Traviata became the last of Verdi's three distinctive works of the 1950s. The romantic opera with a tragic ending is a beautifully told love story - it still appeals to audiences around the world. The State Opera returns to this work again with a musical production by Lorenzo Tazzieri and directed by Dana Dinková.
