In a festive scene that carries all the atmosphere of bourgeois party parties, within the lyrical operatic atmosphere, the play "La Traviata", presented by the "Tbilisi Opera" group, began on the stage of the "Dubai Opera" in two consecutive performances.
The play, which is located in four scenes, carried the love story between Violetta and the romantic Alfredo Germont, embodying all the meanings of legendary love, sacrifice and tragic endings.
The music for the work was composed by Giuseppe Verdi, and the play is one of the author's most romantic and famous pieces of all time, written between 1851 and 1853.
The play was presented in four scenes, most of which carried the features of aristocratic life and the social hypocrisy that it bears based on appearances.
The first scene begins with the aristocratic party, which brings together the family of Alfredo, his father and the class of the velvet society, then moves on to the second scene, which witnesses the beginning of a love story between Violetta and Alfredo, as the audience lives with the lovers many dreamy and delicate moments, especially since the events are embodied through sweet operatic singing.

The work events escalate in the third and fourth scenes, when Alfredo learns about what Violetta did in order for them to live in the countryside together, as she sold her property, so he decides to return to Paris to adjust the financial situation, then Violetta receives a surprise visit from Alfredo's father to tell her that she must leave his son so that he does not Their relationship affects his daughter's marriage.
Violetta sacrifices her love despite her illness and decides to leave Alfredo with a farewell letter.
Alfredo reads the letter and goes to avenge himself, but the play concludes with his remorse, especially when he learns of her sacrifice and illness, so he comes to her, but it is too late, as he comes a few hours before she dies of her illness.
The events of the play are laden with a lot of sorrow, whether the events that accompanied the show from the beginning, or until the tragic end, and operatic singing embodied this sad trend with operatic songs that ranged between soprano and tenor voices.
The music that Verdi wrote had its own charm, especially that which accompanies great parties, it is dreamy and calm.
The work carries a lot of drama in its events, but it is drama imbued with moral values, which highlights people's values and reflects the different aspects of cultures in one society.
The work also focuses on the wealthy class and how people are affected by appearances, as the final lesson is that happy endings are not always written for love stories, despite all the sacrifices that may be made.
