Giuseppe Verdi's legendary opera tells a story about love and hate, life and death, innocence and sin. The performance is built on these contradictions, as well as the face of the main heroine - Violeta Valerie. The action that takes place on stage, however, seems to constantly try to challenge the name of the work: "La traviata", which in Italian must be "fallen, sinful". With her body crushed by an incurable disease, the courtesan tends towards a pure and bright love. The simplicity and sincerity that pervade the music of the Italian composer, make us approach it with love and open our souls to distinguish how they cried and how deeply human characters, realistically outlined rejoiced. The authenticity of their feelings is compelling. "Traviata" remains one of the most sung and acclaimed works in the history of universal music. see more
