Synopsis
La traviata
La traviata is one of the works that mark the entrance of realism in Italian opera. Although, as can be expected, some of the more scabrous moments that deal with prostitution are toned down (a toning down already made by Dumas in his passage from novel to play), it is significant that the libretto, initially entitled Amore e morte (Love and death) was renamed by Verdi La traviata.
In spite of the fact that he had to accept moving the story to an earlier age, there is no doubt that the opera speaks of contemporary society, of the mundane world of the bourgeoisie, emphasizing its vulgarity and exposing its hypocrisy.
