18.02.2010 15:20  On March of 14th in Riga will be presented one of greatest opera events which has ever been written.Traviata(la Traviata) is an opera in three acts by Giuseppe Verdi set to an Italian libretto by Francesco Maria Piave. It is based on the novel La dame aux Camélias by Alexandre Dumas, fils, published in 1848. The title "La traviata" means literally The Woman Who Strayed, or perhaps more figuratively,The Fallen Woman. It was originally titled Violetta, after the main character. This production of La Traviata takes place in Paris after the 2nd World War. This is the time when people tried to forget the death, blood and losses, to heal the recent wounds and to enjoy life with a great ardor once again. The impossible, beautiful love story of the courtesan Violetta and her impassioned suitor, Alfredo; resplendent balls and intimate meetings; unforgettable melodies and waltz rhythms - these are the elements that comprise Verdi's most popular work, which features the dream roles of every soprano and tenor.
