Iwona Sobotka: Verdi - La Traviata, 'E strano! Ah, forse e lui... Follie! Sempre libera'

Verdi - La Traviata, 'E strano! Ah, forse e lui... Follie! Sempre libera'

This is Giuseppe Verdi’s most personal opera. The fate of Parisian courtesan Violetta Valéry is a love story that transgressed the social conventions of her time. The composer aimed to show events happening there and then, which were rooted in the double moral standards governing the society: the miserable position of women and the depraving force of money. Consequently, Verdi was greatly inspired by ‘boulevard theatre,’ where plays were informed by everyday life. His second inspiration was the French capital. The source of “La Traviata” is an attack on the moral laissez-faire of Paris. Both the subject and the dramatic tension of the work were ahead of its time, forcing viewers to undergo a katharsis, shattering their peace of mind—consequently, the premiere was a complete flop. However, Verdi’s passionate, moving score secured that “La Traviata” occupied its due place in the history of the genre, and is still performed with success at the greatest scenes of the world.
