Violetta Valéry lives on borrowed time. In Paris’s hedonistic high society, she wrings each day for its joys before her illness catches up with her.
When the idealistic young Alfredo offers true love, happiness seems possible—but her past has exacted a price.
Giuseppe Verdi’s devastating tragedy—based on Alexander Dumas fils’ novel, in turn inspired by a real woman—has inspired countless retellings, including cult favourite films Pretty Woman and Moulin Rouge.
