Verdi had a particular affection for his heroine Violetta. "A story for our times," as he said. A true story and an ideal romantic subject which blends realism and poetry. This young courtesan, free, independent, unselfish, is crushed by "right-thinking" bourgeois society for having dared to love and be loved by a young man of good family. Verdi set this hypocrisy and Violetta's ordeal to words and music. In interviews with musicians, singers and conductors, we come to understand the psychological evolution of this opera's heroine.
