Alexandre Dumas The lady with the camellia c. opera adaptation of his novel in three acts. The text was written by Francesco Maria Piave. Dumas' lady with the camellia was actually called Marie Duplessis. He was only 23 years old when lung trouble killed him in 1847 (a year before Dumas' novel was published). Duplessis moved to Paris at the age of 15, where he worked as a fashion salesman. Her beauty and desire for adventure soon opened the way for her to the upper social class. The rank and circle of her supporters continued to grow, and she became one of the most luxurious courtesans of the French capital. He always appeared in gentlemen's audiences with a bouquet of camellias in his hand or a camellia flower pinned to his chest. Marie was the same age as the young Dumas, but their affair lasted less than a year. Dumas modeled the heroine of his novel on her: Marguérite (Violetta). The story is dramatic and moving: the warm-hearted but lung-diseased heroine renounces her lover's love so that her own dubious news does not ruin the young man's future. The premiere of the opera took place on March 6, 1853.
