Alfred Germont Frédéric Antoun

Amidst the first fragile and gentle sounds of this opera is an air of foreboding death that lingers, and yet Violetta Valéry’s enthusiasm for life’s luxurious pastimes is still unwavering: She is the “It-Girl” of Parisian society and throws a lavish party during which she tries to mask her seriously ill health. It is here, where she is introduced to Alfredo, a young man from the country. He has fallen in love with her, while she, at first, mockingly rejects his passionate advances, telling him she was not created for a love as intense as his. But she cannot stop thinking of his hauntingly enthusiastic declaration of love, and she then decides to start a new life at his side. The two withdraw from society and return to the country. After a few months of living together, Alfredo's father invades the couple's retreat and forces Violetta to leave her partner: she is a danger to his family's happiness and honour. Violetta acquiesces, and to make the separation easier on Alfredo, she hides the real reason for leaving him. When he confronts her at a ball in the capital, she claims to love someone else, whereupon the desperate Alfredo publicly humiliates her as being a harlot for sale. Weeks later, he learns that Violetta has sacrificed their happily ever after for his family, but it is too late: all hope is shattered upon Violetta's deathbed...
