La traviata
Giuseppe Verdi's opera La traviata, premièred on 6 March 1853 in the Teatro La Fenice in Venice, marks a turning-point in the history of opera. For the first time, a tragic opera plot was based on a contemporary story, of which the chief protagonist is the socially ostracised Parisian courtesan Violetta Valéry.
