Description
La Traviata, Giuseppe Verdi's eighteenth opera, showcases his mastery during his middle-period. Adapted from Alexandre Dumas fils' 'La Dame aux Camelias', the work portrays the doomed love between Violetta Valery and Alfredo Germont in 19th-century Parisian society.
First performed at La Fenice in Venice in 1853, La Traviata has become one of the most frequently performed operas. This edition includes a guide to Verdi's preparations for the premiere, as well as articles on the opera's social background and its adaptation from Dumas' play.
Additional features include a survey of notable performances and performers, sixteen pages of illustrations, a musical thematic guide, the full libretto and English translation, a discography, bibliography, DVD and website guides. This comprehensive edition provides a detailed understanding of this beloved opera.
