There is a reason that Violetta, the principal character in La traviata, has come to dominate the American operagoer's imagination: She is the gold standard of both vocal prowess and powerful acting. Verdi has asked everything of this delicate woman: vocal agility and vocal power, a complete cynicism regarding love, and utter disregard for her very life, and a desperate desire to live once she has discovered that love is possible. But as soon as she has made that discovery, Verdi rips that love out of her hands and leaves her with nothing. Violetta is the object of desire, hatred, pity, and finally of love; but she is lost. Verdi, in the course of telling the famous story of Camille, gives us some of the most unforgettable music in all of opera.
