Verdi: La Traviata - opera 15.11.2014 19.30 Giuseppe Verdi: Rigoletto - opera 20.11.2014 11.00 G. Rossini: The Barber of Sevilla - opera 21.11.2014 18.00 G. Rossini: The Barber of Sevilla - opera With La Traviata (1853) Giuseppe Verdi managed to successfully create one of his most enduring works. In the drama The Lady of the Camellias by Alexandre Dumas, fils, Verdi and librettist Francesco Maria Piave recognised a timeless theme, extremely attractive for setting to music in an opera. With the selection of a theme concerning a goodhearted courtier, Verdi stepped on the toes of the middle class, whose expectation of opera was a reinforcement of their false morality. With its heartbreaking and uniform drama Rigoletto outperforms the other pieces from Verdi's middle creative period.
