'La Traviata' was Giuseppe Verdi's eighteenth opera and shows him
at the height of his middle-period powers. Adapted from 'La Dame
aux Camelias' by Alexandre Dumas fils, it portrays the love between
the courtesan Violetta Valery and the young Alfredo Germont in
fashionable Parisian society, with its inevitable tragic outcome.
It had its premiere at La Fenice in Venice in 1853 and has gone on
to become one of the most performed and greatly loved of all
operas. There are articles in the guide about Verdi's preparations
for the first performances, a musical commentary, an overview of
the opera's social background and an examination of how the
libretto was adapted from Dumas's play. Also included are a survey
of important performances and performers, sixteen pages of
illustrations, a musical thematic guide, the full libretto and
English translation, a discography, bibliography and DVD and
website guides.
