The story of this sad story belongs to Alexander Dumas fils, wrote two works of "La Traviata" (traviata - fallen) Marguerite Gautier, a real prototype of which, Marie Duplessis, he was familiar - the novel (1848) and drama (1852); Both under the title "Lady of the Camellias," which brought the author fame. Now the grave of the writer and Duplessis are close to one of the Parisian cemeteries are places of pilgrimage for lovers, surround them with the same worship as Romeo and Juliet. However, it is believed that, despite the success, for Dumas it would be better if he first became acquainted with Violetta Valery, "La Traviata" by Verdi and Piave. Violetta - so vital character as a bright personality that in comparison with it the image of Marguerite Dumas pales.
In "La Traviata" FM Piave gave a chronicle of the modern musical theater, Verdi created a perfect image of the main character, "divine", as if designed to embody all the charm of the divas of the XIX century and at the same time a very convincing female type, some will no longer be the composer's operas. Violetta covers all the action and each character, which in turn is intended to illuminate it. With great skill, Verdi was able to show three persons love the experience of the heroine: the cult of freedom inherent in this beauty, her passion for the beloved finally sacrifice. Only the heroine of Puccini will have a similar emotional force, and even then we will not see a combination of all these three aspects, all of these three characters in one person, as if crying out to different performer each action.
- Francesco Maria Piave
- Giuseppe Verdi
