‘La Traviata’ is one of Giuseppe Verdi’s most popular works. The opera tells the tragic love story between courtesan Violetta Valéry and romantic Alfredo Germont. During the premiere of “La Traviata” on 6 May 1853 at La Fenice opera house the audience booed and jeered throughout most of the performance. The next day, Verdi wrote to his friend Emanuele Muzio, in perhaps his most famous letter, “La Traviata, last night a failure. Was the fault mine or the singers’? Time will tell.” Verdi made a few revisions to the score, between 1853 and 1854, and the revised version was a great success. “La Traviata” is currently the most performed opera in the world.
