‘La Traviata’ is both the last opera in what is known as Giuseppe Verdi’s ‘trilogia popolare’ or ‘popular trilogy’ (the other two being ‘Rigoletto’ and ‘Il Trovatore’) and the last work of his that he still composed in what critics have called the master’s ‘personal style’, a style which, in the tradition of the ‘melodramma’, paints a moving portrait of the individual and that was first developed in ‘Luisa Miller’. This opera, which is today considered, quite rightly, as one of the high points in Verdi’s lyrical oeuvre, was badly received at its première, with indignant reactions to the presumed immorality of the story.
