"'''''La traviata''''' is an opera in three acts by [[Giuseppe Verdi]], set to an Italian libretto by Francesco Maria Piave. It is based on ''La dame aux Camélias'' (1852), a play adapted from the novel by Alexandre Dumas ''fils''. The title "La traviata" means literally ''The Fallen Woman'', or perhaps more figuratively, ''The Woman Who Goes Astray''. It was originally titled ''Violetta'', after the main character." -[[The Other Wiki]]
 
This woman named Violetta Valery, however, is not of nobility. Thus, when Violetta's lover's father arrives to tell her to break off the relationship, she has no choice. This upsets Alfredo, who has cared for her for years. And then, tragedy befalls everyone.
