At a glance The fragile Violetta finds love with the loyal Alfredo, only to be thwarted by misunderstandings and family politics. Language Sung in Italian with English translations above the stage. The Scene Paris, the beginning of the 19th Century About the Opera One of the most popular and tragic operas of all time, La Traviata tells the story of Violetta, a courtesan in Paris who has recently overcome a severe illness. Alfredo has loved Violetta from afar, and when their romance becomes real, Alfredo’s father must end such an inappropriate relationship for the sake of his family’s reputation. Love overcomes, but not before Violetta succumbs to her illness. Verdi’s three-act grand opera is the third most popular and produced opera according to Opera America. Only La Bohème and Madama Butterfly are produced more frequently. Opera Tampa favorite Elizabeth de Trejo (Romeo and Juliet, Lucia di Lammermoor) returns as the tragic heroine Violetta.
