La Traviata is probably one of Verdi’s most popular works and perhaps one of the world's favourite operas. First, there is the libretto, which is delightfully melodramatic. Secondly, the music is simple and effective, admirably designed in its effects and theatrical in the most positive sense of the word. Finally, there are its themes, which were very popular in the 19th century, redemption through true love and fate, linked in this case to the image of a courtesan, a woman gone astray – a theme that introduces an eminently modern and romantic note to the drama. Violetta is a heroin straight out of a novel. What is moving about
La Traviata is this focus on a single character, who carries the weight of the world on her shoulders, the raw power of her singing, her obsessive presence, her death for the sake of love and her agony written in the music.
Verdi's La Traviata, 1853
Villa Margherita Grande dates back to the 1750s and is in fact where the famous Italian composer Giuseppe Verdi stayed and composed La Traviata, Griante, Como Lake Italy.
A delightful semi-staged production with soloists and piano!
