Evening at the Opera: "La Traviata"


Vineri seara, Teatrul National Cluj-Napoca, punerea impecabila in scena a faimoasei opere La Traviata. 
Opera de Giuseppe Verdi se desfasoara pe trei acte, iar daca nu ati vazut-o inca, nu ezitati cu urmatoarea ocazie. Poate va amintiti de Julia Roberts in superba comedie romantica "Pretty Woman", ramanand profund impresionata de capodopera lui Verdi. Garantez ca veti avea acelasi sentiment de apreciere si veti ramane la fel de adanc impresionati de grandiosul spectacol.

Traviata este un omagiu adus romanului Dama cu Camelii de Alexandre Dumas (fiul), inspirat de Rose Alphonsine Plessis. Aceasta paraseste orasul natal, Nonant, la numai 13 ani si ajunge la Paris, unde presata de lipsa banilor recurge la prostitutie. La doar 18 ani Rose Alphonsine este una dintre cele mai cunoscute curtezane, insa intalnindu-l pe tanarul Alexandre Dumas, se indragosteste iremediabil si abandoneaza vechiul stil de viata pentru a-i fi alaturi. Tragic, povestea lor de dragoste se sfarseste o data cu prematura moarte a curtezanei, la varsta de 22 ani, din cauza tuberculozei. Denumirea romanului vine de la florile preferate ale acesteia. 

Capodopera lui Verdi preia personajul din roman, insa o reconstruieste sub numele Violetta Valery. Prima punere in scena a operei are loc in 1853, la Venetia, la Teatrul La Fenice, insa esueaza colosal, din cauza interpretarii superficiale. A doua reprezentatie, care se desfasoara la Teatrul San Benedetto, Venetia reuseste sa ridice spectacolul la nivelul de succes bine meritat, de care se bucura si astazi.

Friday evening, at the Cluj-Napoca National Theatre, the outstanding staging of the Traviata Opera by Giuseppe Verdi. The masterpiece is based on three acts, and if you haven't seen it yet, make sure you do, with the first occasion. Remember how impressed was Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman, when Richard Gere flew her off to Italy, only to take her to see Traviata? I promise you, that you'll be as impressed, you will get all the feelings. 

Traviata is based on Alexandre Dumas's novel The Lady of the Camellias. His novel is about the life of Rose Alphonsine Plessis, and their unfulfilled love. Rose Alphonsine leaves her hometown at the age of 13 for Paris, but her lack of money pushes her into becoming a prostitute. By the age of 18, she becomes one of the most famous and desired courtesans. Also around that age, she meets Alexandre and they fall in love. Unfortunately their love is ended by her tragic death of tuberculosis. The title of the novel is inspired by her favorite flowers. 

Verdi's masterpiece recreates Rose's character and gives her a new name, Violetta Valery. The first staging was held at the La Fenice Theatre in Venice, and because of the lack of the proper acting skills it was a complete failure. However, the second staging, also in Venice, managed to do justice to the masterpiece and provide it the well deserved success.
