La Traviata │ Prendi, quest'è l'immagine │ ACT III │ MULTISUB

Violetta's final ecstasy, in which her spasms cease and she finally dies. He tells Alfredo that it is too late for them to live together, but that when he falls in love with another woman to make her his wife and give her a portrait of herself. She tells him that she will pray for both of them from heaven, and finally collapses dead.
In the first version of La Traviata, the audience burst into laughter after Violetta's death instead of appreciating the tragic ending. Soprano Salvini-Donatelli, too old and overweight, did not quite fit the role of Violetta. A day later, Verdi wrote to his friend Muzio «La Traviata was a failure last night, was it me or the singers' failure? Only time will tell». La Fenice insisted to change the context to "circa 1700" to ensure better success in upcoming performances.
La Traviata is a melodrama in three acts inspired by La Dame aux Camélias, by Alexandre Dumas (son), in turn based on the life of the Norman courtesan Alphonsine Plessis. It is one of Verdi's most audacious and original works, the only contemporary one at the time of its premiere, a circumstance that was too transgressive and forced Verdi to adjust this point at the time. It is a simple composition from a technical standpoint, yet effective and modern. Although there are plenty of arias and duets, it is a continuous work, a great innovation for the time. La Traviata contributed to the popularity of tuberculosis, the romantic disease par excellence, with strong connotations of moral dissipation and bohemian lifestyle.
Brief synopsis of La traviata (spoiler alert): Violeta is a self-made young courtesan who lives an extravagant and luxurious life in Paris, surrounded by lovers and admirers, but suffers from tuberculosis. Used to exchanging love for money, when she meets her suitor Alfredo she feels upset at the dilemma of abandoning her easy life of frivolity and debauchery. However, she cannot resist true love at last, and the two begin a relationship in the countryside. Alfredo’s father, Giorgio Germont, steps in, concern on the effect this idyll is having on the familiar reputation, and asks Violeta to leave Alfredo so that his other daughter can marry a respectable suitor. She accepts in great pain, and goes back to Paris after saying her farewell to Alfredo in a letter. Poor Alfredo is comforted by his father, who asks him to return with him to their beloved Provence, but Alfredo thinks Violeta has left him for an old suitor and runs to Paris to take revenge. There, he humiliates Violeta for her profession and receives a notorious scolding from his father, who tells him what actually happened. Alfredo returns to apologize to Violeta, but she is already terminal and dies in his arms.
