A classic opera by Giuseppe Verdi, an Italian composer who created the piece based on the famous French novel. It first performed in 1853, and many songs from the production such as “Drinking Song”, “Ah! Fors’è lui” and “Sempre libera” are still in most vocalists’ repertoire lists.
Story starts at a society event, guests await the arrival of Violetta Valéry, the city’s most sophisticated high-society courtesan. Violetta is dying, and the cruel voyeurs are eager to witness Violetta’s demise. The crowd foists a new admirer on her: a young, socially awkward bookworm named Alfredo Germont. But he lectures the prostitute, telling her that she should lead a respectable life in which love reigns supreme. She tries to dismiss his ideas as naïve and impractical, but reassesses her life, renounces her lifestyle, and moves to the country with Alfredo.
