La Traviata is a 1982 Italian film written, designed, and directed by Franco Zeffirelli. It is based on the opera La traviata with music by Giuseppe Verdi and libretto by Francesco Maria Piave. Soprano Teresa Stratas, tenor Plácido Domingo, and baritone Cornell MacNeil starred in the movie, in addition to singing their roles. The film premiered in Italy in 1982 and went into general release there the following year. It opened in theatres in the U.S. on April 22, 1983. The movie's soundtrack with James Levine conducting the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra won a Grammy Award for Best Opera Recording.
The film opens in the Paris home of courtesan Violetta Valery, where sheets cover the furniture in dimly lit rooms. Creditors, appraisers, and movers are removing much of the artwork and ornate furnishings. One of them curiously wanders through the rooms, until he comes upon Violetta, bedridden and looking pallid and weak, and he stares at her with undisguised awe. She is startled to see him and follows him to see what he is doing. As she gazes down the long hallway, her delirious mind drifts back to a happier time, and via flashback we are transported to a lavish party she is hosting to celebrate her recovery from an illness. One of her guests, Count Gastone, has brought with him his friend, the young nobleman Alfredo Germont, who has long adored Violetta from afar. She becomes dizzy and retires to her bedroom to recover; he follows her and declares his love. At first Violetta rejects him, telling him love means nothing to her, but she is touched by his concern and offers him a camellia, telling him to return it when it has wilted. He promises to see her the next day.

Starring: Charles Castronovo, Natalie Dessay, Louis Langrée, Jean-François Sivadier Becoming Traviata Trailer (2013) http://movieweb.com/movie/becoming-traviata/ The reinvention of Verdi’s masterpiece, La Traviata, as sung by world-famous French coloratura soprano Natalie Dessay, is the subject of Philippe Béziat’s thrilling new movie. A modern, minimalist, post-punk approach strips away the opulence and grandiosity associated with operatic productions. Concentrating on director Jean-François Sivadier’s working relationship with Dessay, the film reveals how two great creative minds build the story of a doomed love affair. The stars rehearse in what look like yoga outfits, on a bare stage, with minimal props. The final production, set against a backdrop of sky and clouds, punctuated by a ...

The fabled "Lisbon Traviata" with Alfredo Kraus (Alfredo), and Mario Sereni (Giorgio), conducted by Franco Ghione, live performance, March 27, 1958. (In 1958 in January there was her also famous walk-out at the Rome Opera...) São Carlos de Lisboa... all was swept aside by the go-for-broke intensity of Callas' Violetta. In the midst of all that mediocrity was this vivid portrayal of the brave, angry, feverish Violetta created by Callas. Listen to the letter scene (1:40:13) and "Addio del passato", also the "Alfredo, Alfredo" (1:26:49) using floating pianissimi... tearfull pianissimi... It's like conducting the orchestra herself. ------------------------------------- Act 1 The salon in Violetta's house (4:15).

LA TRAVIATA - Devia, Filianoti, Bruson - La Scala in Tokyo, 2006. Traviata hiding in Japan for ten years – one of the best classic renditions from La Scala 2000s. Sincere and warm-sounding Violetta and Alfredo by Mariella Devia and Giuseppe Filianoti. Renato Bruson, the famed Giorgio Germont, is late in his career, but still amazing, especially in Act II scenes with Violetta. Performance feels like watching it live.

Follie!...Sempre libera Alfredo - Francesco Albanese Orchestra sinfonica di Torino della RAI Conducted by Gabriele Santini 1953 VIOLETTA (sola) È strano! È strano! In core scolpiti ho quegli accenti! Saria per me sventura un serio amore? Che risolvi, o turbata anima mia? Null'uomo ancora t'accendeva -- O gioia ch'io non conobbi, esser amata amando! E sdegnarla poss'io per l'aride follie del viver mio? Ah, fors'è lui che l'anima solinga ne' tumulti godea sovente pingere de' suoi colori occulti!

Alfredo:
Libiamo, libiamo ne'lieti calici
che la belleza infiora.
E la fuggevol ora s'inebrii
a voluttà.
Libiamo ne'dolci fremiti
che suscita l'amore,
poichè quell'ochio al core
Omnipotente va.
Libiamo, amore fra i calici
più caldi baci avrà.
All:
Ah, libiamo;
amor fra i calici
Più caldi baci avrà
Violetta:
Tra voi tra voi saprò dividere
il tempo mio giocondo;
Tutto è follia nel mondo
Ciò che non è piacer.
Godiam, fugace e rapido
e'il gaudio dell’amore,
e'un fior che nasce e muore,
ne più si può goder.
Godiam c'invita un fervido
accento lusighier.
All:
Godiam, la tazza e il cantico
la notte abbella e il riso;
in questo paradise
ne sopra il nuovo dì.
Violetta:
La vita è nel tripudio
Alfredo:
Quando non s'ami ancora.
Violetta:
Nol dite a chi l'ignora,
Alfredo:
e' il mio destin così ...
All:
Godiamo, la tazza e il cantico
la notte abbella e il riso;
in questo paradiso ne sopra il nuovo dì.
[ENGLISH TRANSLATION]
Let us drink from the goblets of joy
adorned with beauty,
and the fleeting hour shall be adorned
with pleasure.
Let us drink to the secret raptures
which love excites,
for this eye reigns supreme in my heart...
Let us drink, for with wine
love will enjoy yet more passionate kisses.
With you I can spend
the time with delight.
In life everything is folly
which does not bring pleasure.
Let us be happy, fleeting and rapid
is the delight of love;
it is a flower which blooms and dies,
which can no longer be enjoyed.
Let us be happy, fervent
and enticing words summon us.
(Be happy ... wine and song
and laughter beautify the night;
let the new day find us in this paradise.)
Life is nothing but pleasure,
as long as one is not in love.
Don't say that to one who is ignorant.
That is my fate ...
Be happy ... wine and song
and laughter beautify the night;
let the new day find us in this paradise.
