LA TRAVIATA (THE FALLEN WOMAN), an opera in three acts by Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901), is based on La Dame aux camélias (1852), a play adapted from the novel by Alexandre Dumas. The opera was originally titled Violetta, after the main character. Piave and Verdi wanted to follow Dumas in giving the opera a contemporary setting, but the authorities at La Fenice insisted that it be set in the past, ca. 1700. The opera premiered on December 6, 1856 at the Salle Ventadour in Paris. It was not until the 1880’s that the composer’s and librettist’s original wishes were carried out and "realistic" productions were staged. LA TRAVIATA has become immensely popular and is among the most frequently performed of all operas. The PRELUDIO at the beginning of Act 1 tells the tragic story of the courtesan Violetta in reverse, opening with the elegant, sweet string threnody that is heard at the beginning of the third act. This is followed by a quotation of the tune Amami, Alfredo from the first scene in the second act, in which she prepares to leave her lover to protect his family from her reputation. Instrumentation: 1.1.1.2: 4.0.0.0: Str (9.8.7.6.5 in set).
