Entretenue par le riche baron Douphol, la courtisane Violetta, artiste de cabaret noire, s’étourdit dans le luxe et les plaisirs pour oublier la terrible maladie qui menace ses jours. Lors d’une fête qu’elle donne chez elle, elle se laisse séduire par Alfredo, dont la ferveur parvient à la détourner de sa vie dissolue. Ayant tout abandonné, Violetta croit pouvoir vivre son amour avec Alfredo à la campagne, loin de l’agitation de Paris ; mais pour goûter ce bonheur, la jeune femme doit vendre ses biens. Vient le père d’Alfredo, Giorgio Germont, qui supplie Violetta de rompre avec son fils car sa liaison avec une courtisane est un scandale qui rend impossible le mariage de sa jeune sœur. Violetta refuse de renoncer à son amour, puis elle finit par céder aux prières de Germont. Laissant croire à Alfredo qu’elle le quitte pour retrouver son ancien protecteur, Violetta accepte de se rendre à une fête où elle apparaît au bras de Douphol. Fou de douleur Alfredo rejoint Violetta qu’il insulte publiquement. Oubliée et ruinée, Violetta va mourir dans son appartement vidé par les créanciers. Seul l’espoir de revoir Alfredo la maintient encore en vie. Le jeune homme et son père arrivent enfin, mais il est trop tard. La joie des retrouvailles et le réconfort du pardon ne suffisent pas à sauver Violetta qui meurt dans les bras de son amant.

Cared for by the wealthy Baron Douphol, the courtesan Violetta, a black cabaret artist, dabbles in luxury and pleasures to forget the terrible illness that threatens her life. At a party she gives at home, she lets herself be seduced by Alfredo, whose fervor manages to divert her from her dissolute life. Having abandoned everything, Violetta believes she can live out her love with Alfredo in the countryside, far from the hustle and bustle of Paris; but to taste this happiness, the young woman must sell her property. Along comes Alfredo's father, Giorgio Germont, who begs Violetta to break up with his son because his affair with a courtesan is a scandal that makes his younger sister's marriage impossible. Violetta refuses to give up her love, then she finally gives in to Germont's pleas. Letting Alfredo believe that she is leaving him to find her former protector, Violetta agrees to go to a party where she appears on Douphol's arm. Mad with pain Alfredo joins Violetta whom he publicly insults. Forgotten and ruined, Violetta will die in her apartment emptied by creditors. Only the hope of seeing Alfredo again keeps her alive. The young man and his father finally arrive, but it is too late. The joy of reunion and the comfort of forgiveness are not enough to save Violetta who dies in her lover's arms.
