Synopsis
La Traviata
by Matthew Leone
Act I
The courtesan Violetta Valery hosts a massive party at her house in Paris. As the
guests revel in drink, conversation, and games, the Viscount Gastone introduces
Violetta to his friend, Alfredo Germont, who has secretly admired her from afar.
The guests interrupt their conversation, however, and ask Alfredo to offer a toast.
Together with the guests, Alfredo sings in celebration of love and wine, while Violetta sings of pleasure and happiness. As the guests move to another room to dance,
Violetta falters, becoming pale and weak from illness. Alfredo stays behind with
Violetta and confesses his love for her, but Violetta rebukes him, believing herself
incapable of such a feeling. Despite this, she gives Alfredo a flower from her corsage
and asks him to return it to her when it has withered the following day. Overjoyed
at the prospect of seeing Violetta again, Alfredo departs with the other guests as the
party ends. Now alone, Violetta struggles with her conflicted emotions. Although
she reasserts her commitment to pleasure, she also wonders if accepting her budding
love for Alfredo might be the better choice.
Act II
Scene 1
Three months have passed, and Violetta, having given up her life of pleasure
and parties, is now living with Alfredo in a country house outside of Paris. However,
Alfredo soon learns that Violetta has been selling her possessions to pay for this new
life in the country. Distraught, he leaves for Paris to obtain the money himself. Soon
after, Violetta returns with her maid, Annina. Violetta’s friend Flora has invited her
to a party in Paris, but Violetta declines, having given up such pursuits. Her servant
Giuseppe then informs her that she has a visitor: Giorgio Germont, Alfredo’s father.
Germont implores Violetta to end her relationship with Alfredo, which threatens
the marriage prospects of Alfredo’s sister. After much resistance, Violetta concedes to
Germont’s request, and after he departs, Violetta writes a farewell letter to Alfredo.
Her lover returns a short time later, and Violetta, overcome with grief, bids him a
tearful goodbye and heads to Flora’s ball. Alfredo then reads her farewell letter and is
shocked and angered by Violetta’s apparent betrayal. Germont returns and attempts
to console his son, but Alfredo ignores him and sets out for Paris, seeking revenge.
Intermission
Scene 2 (Act II, cont.)
At Flora’s house, the party is underway, and the guests discuss Violetta and Alfredo’s
recent separation. After a series of dances, Violetta arrives with the Baron Douphol, her
new lover. They notice Alfredo at the gambling table, where he has been winning large
sums of money. The Baron challenges him to a card game, and Alfredo wins, much to
the Baron’s chagrin. Afterward, Alfredo confronts Violetta, who still refuses to reveal
the real reason she left him. Attempting to conceal the truth, she tells him that she loves
the Baron, and in a fury, Alfredo condemns her in front of the other guests. Germont
scolds his son for his outburst, and Alfredo feels remorseful. Nevertheless, the Baron
steps forward and challenges Alfredo to a duel to defend Violetta’s honor, while Violetta
reassures herself that she will still love Alfredo, even after death.
Act III
As Paris celebrates Carnival, Violetta lies bedridden, weak, and severely ill. Doctor
Grenvil visits her and reveals to Annina that Violetta will die within a few hours. After
Annina and Grenvil depart, Violetta reads a letter from Germont, which notifies her that
Alfredo won his duel against the Baron and has now gone abroad. Deeply regretful, Germont
says he has also told his son the true reason Violetta left him and that Alfredo is coming back
to ask Violetta’s forgiveness. Violetta fears it may be too late, but Alfredo does come, and
Violetta’s hope for a happy life with Alfredo is restored. However, the joyous moment is but
a fleeting illusion, and Violetta finally succumbs to her illness and dies.

From reconfigured army barracks to
a stage rivaling that of the Met, the
IU Opera Theater has grown into a
world-class training ground for opera’s
next generation. Celebrating more than
six decades of opera at its finest, this
lavishly illustrated history captures the
excitement, hard work, talent, and pride
that distinguish each performance and
make the theater what it is today.
Director’s Notes
by Jeffrey Buchman
This new production of La Traviata was conceived with a concerted focus on
telling Violetta’s personal story of love, sacrifice, and pursuit of redemption through
a noble act. Her story lives in a hypocritical, male-dominated world that confines
courtesans to the demi-monde; a world between worlds that sees them worshipped
for their beauty, wit, and seductive skills, while denying them a complete existence
and most importantly, true love. Kept by wealthy men, lavished with luxurious gifts,
cash, homes, and anything else they desire, the almost imperceptible walls of the
demi-monde serve like a shadow box to put courtesans on display as exquisite objects,
while at the same time imprisoning them within a world few can escape.
The effects of this confinement are painfully evident in Violetta’s words, which
reveal feelings of living an arid existence (“l’aride follie del viver mio”) and fears of
being abandoned, all alone in the crowded desert called Paris (“Sola, abbandonata
in questo popoloso deserto che appellano Parigi”). Her emotional and psychological
suffering, together with the physical pain and weakness caused by the consumption
that is fast-tracking her towards her grave all drive her to immerse herself in the
only escape she knows—the constant whirl of scintillating pleasure and parties that
surround her, what she calls the vortici di voluttà.
Obtained as kept objects to adorn men’s worlds, young women found themselves
in new and exciting circles of society, lavished with luxuries they could previously
only have dreamed of. It may have appeared from outside of this shadow box of sorts
that they were living as part of high society, or the haute-monde, but they were not.
Theirs was a fragile existence in a world of ever-shifting appearances and realities. If
the courtesan was not struck down by consumption, the most common killer of the
time, then it might be her fading beauty or her falling out of favor that could easily
cut short her reign. The vibrant life of the demi-mondaine was inevitably short-lived
and tragic. This certainly proves true for Violetta, who, barely a young woman, dies
completely abandoned by the society that once revered her.
Verdi’s Violetta is based on the real-life courtesan Marie Duplessis, and if we
take events from Marie’s life as the example, we see a harsh and unforgiving existence
full of dramatic transition and transformation. First came the cruel transition from
innocent child to a young girl sold to a 70-year-old man by her own father. Only a
few years later, came the evolution from impoverished young girl on her own in Paris
into a kept woman discovering the small bit of power she might have over men in a
world where men held all the power. Then came the dramatic transformation from a
simple kept woman into a grande horizontale, the highest level of Parisian courtesan.
But most noteworthy is the final metamorphosis from fallen woman, or Traviata, to
redeemed soul.

Conductor’s Notes
by Joseph Rescigno
In many ways, Giuseppe Verdi is to opera what Ludwig van Beethoven is to
symphonic literature: their works are mainstays of their repertories; both composers
continued to grow and develop musically throughout their lives; and their numerous
works may be divided into three distinct periods. Also, Verdi’s style is not unlike
Beethoven’s, characterized as it is by rhythmic drive, sophisticated development and
counterpoint, and rock-solid architecture.
La Traviata is the last of three enduring Verdi works premiered in just the three
years 1851 to 1853 (the other two being Rigoletto and Il Trovatore). While some
people may disagree as to whether La Traviata is forward-looking enough to be called
the first verismo opera, it is a break from classic bel canto opera. First, the plot is
modern; indeed, its heroine’s lifestyle was considered too racy for a contemporary
setting, and for about four decades after its premiere, it was set in the eighteenth
century. The other modern aspect of the opera is its extensive through- composition;
there are long stretches of music where the bel canto composers would have presented
separate numbers and left room for applause. Moreover, the vocal ornamentation is
supplied by the composer and more restrained than we hear in bel canto operas; and
singers bring few, if any, personalized variations and embellishments to La Traviata.

Dabs of orchestral color are added by a banda in both Acts I and III. This is a
group of musicians who play contrasting music that is part of the story, sometimes
outside the pit (backstage, for example). In La Traviata, the banda plays during the
party of the first act and outside Violetta’s window in the last act. Listen, too, for
the beautiful clarinet solo of Act II, Scene 1, where Violetta writes her farewell letter
to Alfredo; it is almost certain that this clarinet solo and the cello quartet of Verdi’s
later opera, Otello, served as inspiration for Giacomo Puccini when he composed the
opening sections of Tosca’s Act III.
While using the same size orchestra as Verdi’s other operas of that time, this opera
has a particularly light orchestration and feeling. Not until his last opera, Falstaff,
would Verdi again serve musical champagne in quite this manner. After the entire
orchestra bubbles with the opening tune (“Allegro brillantissimo e molto vivace,” a
most brilliant allegro and very lively), the composer reduces the orchestra to just a
few strings. In fact, depending on the size and acoustics of the theater, this passage
can sound exquisite with just a string quartet, which reasonably could be playing at
this kind of party.
The challenges in conducting La Traviata, include cultivating this spirit of
beauty and delicacy. Even in the opera’s most dramatic moments, it is imperative to
avoid heaviness. In the Act II, Scene 2 confrontation between Alfredo and Violetta,
for example, I try to sustain the drama but avoid excess by having the strings play
some of their repeated notes using a light, bouncing, bowing technique (such as the
picturesquely named “ricochet” technique).

Those repeated rhythmic figures in the accompaniments, which are part of why
the orchestra can get heavy in this scene, are more common in La Traviata than in
Verdi’s other works of this period. They are not like the repeated arpeggios in the
introduction to “Casta Diva” in Vincenzo Bellini’s Norma, which sound delicate and
even ethereal. The figures used here play a more percussive role, like the chords in the
rock and roll pianos of Chubby Checker or Jerry Lee Lewis, or the bass instruments
in jazz and rock combos. When used by today’s concert and opera composers, these
repeated figures are generally referred to as ostinati (plural of ostinato, the Italian for
“stubborn”). In addition to hearing these in the Violetta-Alfredo confrontation, we
encounter them when Germont sings of his daughter in Act II, Scene 1; as Violetta
writes her farewell letter to Alfredo later in that scene; during her final aria, “Addio
del passato” (“Goodbye to the Past”); and at the conclusion of the opera.
In La Traviata, Verdi supplies indications more liberally than earlier composers
did, a practice that would grow throughout the romantic era and into our own day.
As is true in all music, however, performing it requires thought about dramatic
purpose and imagination in execution. For the conductor, the preludes to Act I and
the final act, comprise a particularly apt example. They look very similar on the page.
There is room to treat them differently, however, without any fundamental change in
the music. In the first prelude, the orchestra can portray a struggle: Violetta’s refusal
to accept any limitations as expressed in the aria “Sempre libera” that closes the act.
In the last act prelude, the same music played a bit slower and softer and even calmer
can preview her acceptance of inevitable death as expressed in that act.
But conductors need to exercise restraint in making adjustments. A temptation
lurks in the Act II finale, which is marked “Largo”—a slow tempo—but contains no
further tempo indications. This begins with the entrance of Germont with “Di sprezzo
degno” (“Worthy of Scorn”) and continues to the end of the act through Alfredo’s
“Ah si! che feci!” (“What Have I Done?), Violetta’s “Alfredo, Alfredo, di questo
core” (“Alfredo, Alfredo, From This Heart”), and all of the onlookers’ comments.
For a few different reasons, it requires a lot of discipline to portray contrasting
emotions through this long sequence, with only the modest tempo flexibility typical
of nineteenth-century music but without any fundamental change in the beating
pattern. If the conductor trusts Verdi, however, this consistency lends a unity to the
whole and produces a tremendous cumulative impact.
Beyond the power of the finale’s relentlessly growing intensity, Verdi’s attention
to emotional detail should be audible in his writing for the three principals in this
scene. They have similar musical lines, differentiated in large measure by articulation.
Violetta’s music is written almost entirely legato, in long lines of connected notes.
Germont has some staccato marks, indicating that the syllables should be clipped and
disconnected. Probably to suggest sobbing and remorse after his outburst, Alfredo
has a great many notes of short duration and more staccato marks over his notes than
Germont has.
In sum, this Act II finale is a model of its type, masterfully portraying a complex
tapestry of emotion.

In La Traviata, Verdi told a story through music that has captivated audiences
for more than 150 years, and even though it no longer seems likely to provoke any
public debates about morality, it still draws us in. The hardest part for modern
audiences to swallow may be the success Germont has in bullying his son and, even
more, Violetta. However, prior to World War I, conventions were very different from
today. If we imagine Germont as a member of a strict religious community, we can
perhaps come closer to understanding how his argument is possible and see that the
story is rooted in truth.
The opera’s greatest truths—love, loss, and unintended consequences—are
timeless, of course. Great music, by speaking directly to our hearts and even our guts
in addition to our brains, can lift a story’s characters out of their specific place and
time and make them as real as our neighbors.
Program Notes
“Giuseppe Verdi, La Traviata, and the Censors”
by Matthew Leone
Many factors can contribute to the shaping of an opera—availability of personnel,
production costs, and the aesthetic or dramatic intentions of the composer, librettist,
or stage director. So can censorship, both government sponsored and culturally
enforced. In Giuseppe Verdi’s time, much like our own, sensitive topics and subject
matter had to be handled carefully, or avoided altogether. And out of all of Verdi’s
operas, few drew the wrath of censors as greatly as La Traviata. In the 1850s, this work
challenged conventional notions of sexuality and morality, especially in depicting
Violetta, a courtesan and lover of the noble Alfredo, as a sympathetic protagonist.
In Italy and abroad, La Traviata underwent considerable changes to conform to
censorial and cultural standards of decency, and it demonstrates how an opera can
reflect cultural concerns of a time and place, not just because of the topics it depicts,
but because of what topics were criticized and censored.
By the time Giuseppe Verdi began work on La Traviata in early 1853, he was well
acquainted with the censors in Austrian-controlled Venice, where the opera was to
premiere. Less than two years earlier, he had won a hard-fought victory over the city’s
authorities regarding the “repellent immorality” of Rigoletto. By contrast, La Traviata
passed through the censorial offices relatively unscathed. Aside from changing the
title from Amore e morte (“Love and Death”) to La Traviata (“The Fallen Woman”),
the setting was changed from contemporary Paris to the early 1700s. The specific
reasons for these changes still remain somewhat unclear, but for the most part, Verdi’s
dramatic structure and characterizations were unchanged.
When the opera traveled for productions in Naples and Rome, however, the
censors of both cities proved far stricter. For the Neapolitan production, Violetta
and Alfredo were forbidden to be depicted as living together, unwed, in Act II;
instead, Violetta was simply portrayed as a visitor. Furthermore, the Neapolitan
version downplayed Violetta’s past life as a courtesan, as Alfredo’s father rejects
her not because of her sexual immorality, but because of her lower social status. In
Rome, religious authorities also forced Verdi to alter many verses and remove the
overtly sexual aspects of Violetta’s character. Verdi later lamented that the censors had
“spoiled the sense of the drama” by making Violetta “pure and innocent.”
Similarly, in London and New York, censors and others expressed disdain for
Violetta’s adulterous relationship with Alfredo. In London, the Examiner of Plays
made small but significant changes; for instance, in Act II, Alfredo throws Violetta’s
picture at her instead of a bag of money, which would have implied prostitution.
Critics also weighed in, as one reviewer for The Times claimed that Verdi’s opera
“should never have been exhibited on any stage,” and warned families not to take part
in La Traviata’s portrayal of “the worst types of Parisian vice.” It was also problematic
that Verdi portrayed Violetta, the “wretched girl,” not as a villain, but as “the heroine
for whom our sympathies are aroused.” The most extreme censorship of Verdi’s opera,
however, came from an artistic director at New York’s Brooklyn Academy; he simply
banned the opera altogether, having become “exercised concerning the morality of
[La Traviata’s] performance.”
In many ways, the various censorships of La Traviata potentially signify more
than just concerns over offending audiences. In Verdi’s era, prostitution, unmarried
cohabitation, and sex out of wedlock were major subjects of debate. For censors
and other arbiters of morality, romantic relations outside of marriage were targets
for criticism, as they conflicted with their standards of monogamous marriage and
familial fidelity. Sexual promiscuity also had physical consequences, as prostitution
and adultery were viewed as major contributors to venereal disease and other
maladies. Perhaps, then, officials and critics censored La Traviata’s sexual story
elements mainly because they represented, in their eyes, real-world threats to societal
order. Whatever their motivation, the plot and characters of Verdi’s opera certainly
caused considerable anxiety in the 1850s. Nevertheless, by exploring works like La
Traviata, we can ultimately learn much about a culture’s concerns and values, not
only from what the work portrays, but in how it was condemned.
Artistic Staff
Conductor
Joseph Rescigno has conducted for more than 50 companies on
four continents. Since 1981, he has served as artistic advisor and
principal conductor of the Florentine Opera Company of Milwaukee,
where he has conducted some of the company’s most challenging
repertory. He also has been music director of La Musica Lirica, a
summer program for singers in Northern Italy, since 2005. And he
served as artistic director of Metropolitan Orchestra of Greater Montreal, Quebec,
for four seasons.
In his permanent and guest engagements, Rescigno traverses the repertory from
new works like Minoru Miki’s Jōruri and Don Davis’s Río de Sangre (both world
premieres under his baton) to rarities like Rossini’s 1816 La Gazzetta. He also
champions neglected contemporary works like Barber’s Vanessa while conducting a
broad swath of operas from the standard literature. This includes Mozart’s seminal
pieces; works from Italian composers like Rossini, Donizetti, Bellini, Verdi, and
Puccini; romantic French operas of Bizet, Gounod, and Saint-Saëns; and works
from the German school, particularly by Wagner and Richard Strauss. In addition,
Rescigno has conducted masterworks of the choral literature as well as symphonies
and concertos from the baroque to the contemporary—sometimes from the keyboard
in works from earlier eras.
As a guest artist, Rescigno has conducted the New York City Opera, Lyric Opera
of Chicago, Washington National Opera, Hungarian State Opera, Opera Theatre of
Saint Louis, Seattle Opera, Glimmerglass Opera, Vancouver Opera, Teatro Bellini,
l’Opéra de Marseille, and l’Opéra de Montréal, among others. The symphony
orchestras he has conducted include the Montreal Symphony and the Milwaukee
Symphony, in both regular subscription series and opera productions. He won
Quebec’s Prix Opus for a program of all five Beethoven piano concertos with Anton
Kuerti and the Metropolitan Orchestra of Greater Montreal.
Rescigno’s recordings include the aforementioned world premieres, Río de
Sangre (for Albany Records) and Jōruri (for Toei Video Disk). He recorded two solo
operatic anthologies for Analekta of Canada featuring Lyne Fortin (Mozart) and
Diana Soviero (the highly regarded Verismo). Also for Analekta, he conducted three
symphonic albums with works by Beethoven, Brahms, and Mendelssohn.
This native New Yorker comes from a long line of musicians on both sides of
his family. He trained as a pianist and has been studying and performing music since
childhood. His uncle was the prominent conductor Nicola Rescigno, a founder of
both the Dallas Opera and Lyric Opera of Chicago. He holds a Master of Music
degree from Manhattan School of Music and studied with distinguished teachers
and composers in the United States and Europe. Rescigno further apprenticed with
eminent conductors and has since been privileged to collaborate with prominent
musicians of three generations.
A born teacher, Rescigno derives tremendous gratification from working with
young musicians in student orchestras and singers in master classes. Multi-lingual, he
readily gives lively and informative talks before performances, illustrating examples
on a piano when possible. He is also working on his first book, The View from the Pit:
Where Theater Meets Music. (Photo by Christian Steiner.)
Stage Director
Opera News calls director Jeffrey Marc Buchman “a formidable
talent.” Recent career highlights include directing Carmen for

Intermountain Opera, Hansel and Gretel for Sarasota Opera, L’Elisir d’Amore for
Toledo Opera, Faust for Opera Naples, and South Pacific for Anchorage Opera.
Following his success directing the premiere of Madama Butterfly for the National
Theater in Managua, Buchman returned to create a critically acclaimed production
of La Bohème.
He served on the directing staff of Seattle Opera for productions of Porgy
and Bess, Carmen, Tristan Und Isolde, Lucia di Lammermoor, Il Barbiere di Siviglia,
Don Quichotte, and Die Zauberflöte and directed their Young Artists production of
Donizetti’s Viva La Mamma.
Buchman has worked extensively with apprentices and young artists at Sarasota
Opera, Tulsa Opera, Chautauqua Opera, and Florida Grand Opera. His work at
universities has included The New World School of the Arts in Miami, UCLA,
and Indiana University. Upcoming engagements include No Exit for Florida Grand
Opera, La Cenerentola for Green Mountain Opera Festival, La Bohème for IU Opera
Theater, and Il Barbiere di Siviglia for Lyric Opera Baltimore.
Buchman studied German at the Goethe Institut in Prien am Chiemsee,
Germany, and Spanish at the Instituto Cervantes in New York. He holds a Bachelor
of Music degree in opera from the Boston Conservatory of Music and a Master of
Music degree in voice from the Peabody Conservatory of Music in his native city of
Baltimore, Md. He trained in the Young Artist Program of the Florida Grand Opera,
where he later was honored with the company’s Evelyn P. Gilbert Award. He also
trained in the Studio and Apprentice Artist Programs of Central City Opera, where he
was awarded their Studio Artist of the Year award. Winner of the prestigious Luciano
Pavarotti International Voice Competition, Buchman has garnered equal acclaim for
both his singing and his acting. Other prizes include first prize in the National Voice
Competition of the National Society of Arts and Letters and a Richard F. Gold career
grant from the Shoshana Foundation.
