Introduction to the play
Blooming alone in the cold winter, and withering away as spring approaches, Violetta is like a stubborn camellia, loved so passionately and stubbornly, her dreams shattered when she first met goodbye from the superficiality.
"La Traviata" "is not only a tragic love story, but also a profound critique of the moral and class prejudices of 19th century society. As a marginalized figure in society, Violetta, despite possessing a noble heart and sincere emotions, has never been able to break free from the shackles of fate. Her sacrifice is not only a fulfillment of love, but also a silent indictment of worldly prejudices. Verdi's music complements the plot, vividly portraying the characters' inner struggles and tragic fates, making "La Traviata" an immortal classic in the history of opera.
