LA TRAVIATA

These earrings would have never turned out the way they did ....had I not listened ....and sang along ...to Verdi's great opera "La Traviata" while creating it!
To my own surprise, this divine creation of a Pearl earring has totally captioned the free and extravagant spirit of the operas main character "Violetta"!

"La Traviata" ( The Fallen Woman) is an opera 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.
It was first performed 1853 at the "La Fenice" opera house in Venice.
Verdi found his ideal Violetta in Maria Spezia, but Maria Callas was performing the role of Violetta the same year too!
"La Traviata"...even though an immoral and filthy subject (Violetta lives with Alfredo in a wild, "unmarried " relationship in a cottage outside Paris...imagine that in the 1800 century!...and suffers of Tuberculose later)quickly became one of the most popular operas immediately after its premiere, reaching Vienna by 1855; London, Paris and New York by 1856.
Today, this wonderfully melodic Opera with lots of famous arias is the most performed opera in the world!

The opera concerns itself with social issues contemporary to Verdi, almost autobiographical in places with regard to his own relationship with Giuseppina Strepponi !
"Addio del passato" and " Ah, fors' è lui...Sempre libera" are both favorites of mine and standard parts of my repertoire to sing.
The most famous aria though, is actually the "Brindisi" duet.
Brindisi is the Italian word for a drinking song, deriving from a German phrase “bring dir's” (Offer it to you). There are a fair few examples of them in opera...Verdi also included one in his Macbeth and Otello...though the most famous is the"Libiamo!" in La Traviata.

An interesting fact is, that Violetta is brought to her untimely end by consumption, which is the more glamorous name for Tuberculosis (TB). Mimi in La Boheme meets the same fate ...as 25 % of the population did in Europe during the 19th Century.
Somewhat bizarrely TB became a highly romanticized illness, known as the "White Plague", featured in a good deal of Romantic literature as a somehow noble, beautiful death.
To me, " La Traviata" is one of the few timeless operas and a great start into the "world of opera" if you have never experienced opera before!

I recommend checking out http://www.cineplex.com/Events/MetOpera to see a live opera performance of The Metropolitan Opera Live in HD at an AMC theater near you! Seeing the singers close up at the screen is like having the best seat at the Met!
