“La traviata” is a tragic opera by Giuseppe Verdi where Violetta, a high-class Parisian courtesan living a glamorous but ill life, falls deeply in love with a young man named Alfredo Germont, despite the societal disapproval of their relationship; however, when Alfredo’s father pressures her to leave his son for the sake of the family’s reputation, Violetta sacrifices her love, leading to her eventual decline and death from consumption, leaving Alfredo heartbroken and realizing the depth of her sacrifice only too late.”
