Music reviews of Verdi - La Traviata / Cotrubas · Domingo · Milnes · Bayerisches Staatsorchester · Carlos Kleiber

Music Review: An opera from a play from a then celebrated real life story
Rating: 5 Stars

Unlike so many other operas whose titles are given in English (i.e. "The Magic Flute") or are the name of the lead character, "La Traviata" is always just that because it is not really translatable into English. Is she really a "Fallen Woman"? Anything else you say will only give a partial and distorted impression of the character. The story for the opera is after a play by Alexandre Dumas called "La Dame aux camellias" ("The Lady of the Camelias" - often translated into English as "Camille").

Dumas took his story from a real life woman who rose spectacularly from the daughter of a drunken shopkeeper to a much sought-after mistress of rich and powerful men. Marie Plessis was christened Rose-Alphonsine and was packed off to a rich land owner as a worker. She learned the ways of the world, escaped to Paris where she soon took on many admirers who bought her jewels, and clothes, and left her with money. She held salons that were attended by leading literary figures, attended the theater, ate free meals in restaurants, learned cultures, was a passable pianist, and died of consumption (tuberculosis) at 23. In Dumas' story she was given the name of Marguerite. In Verdi's opera she is Violetta.

If you search images on the web for Alphonsine Plessis you can see a photos of her tombstone in Monmarte.

As the opera opens, Violetta (Ileana Cotrubas) is holding a lively salon to celebrate her return to public life after a short bout with consumption. There is much dancing a merriment (and beautiful music). She is accompanied by Baron Douphol (Bruno Grella), one of her, well, patrons. Gastone (Walter Gullino) greets her and introducers a friend of his and an admirer of hers, Alfredo (Placido Domingo). Gastone states that Alfredo had admired her from afar and during her recent illness called every day to ask how she was. Viloletta is quite touched and notes that even the Baron had not shown such devotion.

There is much merriment and Alfredo sings his famous drinking song. He later expresses his love for Violette who says that she can never be more than a friend because she cannot love. She advises him to forget her, but finds herself affected by his attention.

The second act opens in a country house. Violette and Alfredo have been living together for a few months. Alfredo sings his joy at living with her. The maid tells Alfredo that Violette has returned from Paris and that there is to be a sale of her possessions to support their present household. Alfredo is ashamed and leaves for Paris to get money and relieve his guilt for being so blind.

Violetta meets with a man she thinks is there to help with the sale who turns out to be Alfredo's father, Germont (Sherrill Milnes). He implores Violetta to break things off with Alfredo or his family will be ruined. His daughter is set for a proper marriage that will come apart if it is known that his son is living with a woman of her reputation. Violetta agrees to separate from him for a time, but the father says that it must be permanent. (This is a long a beautiful duet). She is overcome and writes a note the Baron and has her maid deliver it. She also writes a note to Alfredo and as she finishes he enters. She is overcome and asks him to tell her that he loves her. He reassures her. She leaves and he is given the note that says she is going to Paris and her old life. Alfredo is broken. His father tries to remind him of his home, but Alfredo leaves swearing vengence.

Alfredo wins a great deal of money at gambling and shames Violetta in public. The crowd is shocked and ridicules Alfredo. His father comes in a rebukes him for such ungentlemanly behavior.

The last act find Violetta in her bedroom dying of consumption. The doctor tells her she is recovering, but later admits privately to the maid that she only has a few hours to live. Violetta hears the crowds and knows it is Carnival and sends money to be distributed to the poor. She learns that Alfredo is abroad and looks in a mirror at her changed countenance and sings a farewell to her happy dreams and asks Gods mercy on one who has erred. Alfredo comes in and embrace and he begs her forgiveness. They make plans to leave Paris, she says she feels so much better with him there that she can feel herself gaining strength. She suddenly swoons and dies.

There is a great deal of beautiful music in this opera and it is all superbly done in this fine recording. Enjoy it!
