A Traviata: Operetta buffa em 1 acto em verso

A one-act comic operetta stages a lively salon where a circle of jaunty young men await the celebrated courtesan Traviata; a shy newcomer, Alfredo, arrives and is instantly smitten while she enters with theatrical flourish. Musical numbers punctuate the action—choral drinking songs, solos and ensembles—that fuel toasts, a waltz and a string of flirtatious misunderstandings. The verse and music trade on farce and lyricism to lampoon social manners, vanity and performative leisure, and the compact structure uses rapid scene shifts and songs to chart an awkward courtship amid convivial satire.
