The opera starts with Angelotti, an escaped political prisoner who seeks refuge in a church where he is protected by Cavaradossi, a local artist who is also the lover of the famous singer, Floria Tosca. The young painter acts suspiciously while protecting his friend and Tosca thinks he is unfaithful. The chief of police, Baron Scarpia, plays upon her jealousy to locate the two men, who are soon captured. Angelotti takes his own life rather then be held prisoner and Tosca desperately begs Scarpia to spare Cavaradossi, offering her affections in exchange for his life. After securing a note saving her lover from his death sentence, she kills Scarpia and hurries off to be with Cavaradossi. Will these two lovers be together in the end? see more
Giuseppe Verdi's legendary opera tells a story about love and hate, life and death, innocence and sin. The performance is built on these contradictions, as well as the face of the main heroine - Violeta Valerie. The action that takes place on stage, however, seems to constantly try to challenge the name of the work: "La traviata", which in Italian must be "fallen, sinful". With her body crushed by an incurable disease, the courtesan tends towards a pure and bright love. The simplicity and sincerity that pervade the music of the Italian composer, make us approach it with love and open our souls to distinguish how they cried and how deeply human characters, realistically outlined rejoiced. The authenticity of their feelings is compelling. "Traviata" remains one of the most sung and acclaimed works in the history of universal music. see more
