The one who has strayed from the right path – that is Violetta Valéry, who leads a life as a noble courtesan in Paris between splendor and misery. Everything is mere play and illusion, even love, until Alfredo Germont awakens true feelings in her. Happiness, however, is a rare visitor and only short-lived: Violetta, suffering from consumption, is first humiliated and then, after a final flicker of vitality, expires.
