Approved

By creating La Traviata in March 1853 at La Fenice in Venice, Verdi closed his popular trilogy, opened with Rigoletto and continued with Il Trovatore . As with many of his works, it is from French literature that he borrows the theme of this opera, inspired by La Dame aux camélias.by Alexandre Dumas fils, published in 1848 and adapted for the theater in 1852. Verdi drew on his private life and his illegitimate couple with a lyric singer to mock the mores and bourgeois prejudices of his time. The objective was achieved, moreover, since the censorship choked on the reading of the opera argument. How dare Verdi show the world the spectacle of a courtesan turned bourgeois, and that the good society of its time constantly brought back to its past, to such a point that it ended up sacrificing itself and being killed? The scandal has passed, and La Traviataremains as one of Verdi's major and 19th century operas.
