CONTENT
1st act
Violetta Valéry, a dream object for sale by Parisian society, celebrates exuberantly - only apparently recovered after a long illness. Alfredo, a young man from the provinces, praises true love in a drinking song. Violetta, on the other hand, is committed to carefree enjoyment of life. In the middle of the omitted festival, she suffers a fit of weakness. When she withdraws from the crowd, Alfredo confesses his love to Alfredo, which Violetta refuses to agree to: she can only promise him friendship, not love. But she quickly finds herself in a conflict of feelings: Should she give up her previous life and allow feelings?

2nd act
Violetta and Alfredo are a couple and have retired to the country. Since then Violetta has incurred large debts, which she keeps secret from Alfredo. When he learns from Violetta's housekeeper Annina that Violetta is selling her belongings in order to be able to continue to finance the joint household, he travels to Paris in order to provide the necessary funds.

During his absence, Alfredo's father demands that Violetta end the relationship, which endangers the family's reputation and thus the engagement of Alfredo's sister. After a long struggle, Violetta agrees to sacrifice herself for the happiness of her sister. She writes a farewell letter, evades the returning Alfredo and secretly travels to Paris. Alfredo, to whom she has her letter delivered, suspects that Baron Douphol has taken Violetta out of him. When he finds her invitation to a party, he follows her to seek revenge.

There is a lot going on at the orgiastic festival. Alfredo wins a game of chance and attracts Douphol. Violetta wants to prevent further escalation and asks Alfredo for a conversation, in which she does not tell him the real reason for her break. Pressed by Alfredo, she declares that she loves the baron. Full of anger and disappointment, Alfredo insulted Violetta in the worst possible way - to the horror of those present.

3rd act
The impoverished Violetta is close to death. She learns from a message from Alfredo's father that he now knows the truth and about her victim. But the lover who finally arrives, like his father who has hurried over, only meets one dying woman.

Attending the performance is recommended from the age of 14.
