Prelude from Act I, La Traviata is a delicate and emotional orchestral introduction composed by Giuseppe Verdi for his opera, which premiered in 1853. The prelude sets the tone for the tragic love story of Violetta, a Parisian courtesan, and Alfredo, a young nobleman.
The music is soft and melancholic, featuring gentle strings that foreshadow the opera’s themes of love, sacrifice, and fate. It contrasts with the more dramatic and lively sections of the opera, creating a poignant opening that immediately draws the listener into Violetta’s world.
