La traviata
**La traviata** is Verdi's beloved opera about Violetta, a glamorous Parisian courtesan who sacrifices her own happiness and love for Alfredo to preserve his family's honor, ultimately dying of tuberculosis. First performed in 1853, it remains one of the most frequently staged operas in the world, famous for arias like "Libiamo ne' lieti calici" (the Brindisi).
