Synopsis
At one of her brilliant supper parties, the beautiful but frail demi-
mondaine (a woman supported by a wealthy lover-Merriam Webster
Dictionary), Violetta Valéry, meets the well-born Alfredo Germont. They
immediately fell in love and she decided to abandon her life of pleasure.
Alfredo's father did not approve of their lifestyle in the country and
demands that Violetta renounce Alfredo. Violetta determined to make the
sacrifice, then departs and leaves only a note for Alfredo. She appears at a
ball in Flora's house in the arm of an old admirer, Baron Douphol, which
makes Alfredo angry. Alfredo challenges the Baron to play cards where
Alfredo wins consistently. Unable to persuade Violetta to go with him,
Alfredo insults her. Violetta becomes ill, and all her friends desert her,
leaving her virtually penniless. Alfredo returns to Violetta. His father told
him of the real story behind Violetta's departure from their country house,
and urged him to seek her for- giveness. Overjoyed at the sight of him,
Violetta attempts to rise but falls into Alfredo's arms. As Germont and the
doctor enter, Violetta dies.
THE END.
