World premiere: Venice, Teatro la Fenice, 1853. Verdi’s La Traviata survived a notoriously unsuccessful opening night to become one of the best-loved operas in the repertoire. The title role of the “fallen woman” has captured the imaginations of audiences and performers alike with its most profound and heartfelt music. Violetta is considered a pinnacle of the soprano repertoire.
