La Traviata, with a libretto by Francesco Piave based on Alexandre Dumas’s The Lady of the Camellias, was not received well during its first premiere at Teatro La Fenice in Venice in 1853. The bourgeois audience could not accept the fact that the plot of the opera is set in modern times and that the main character is a courtesan! History has proven that they were wrong: today, the opera is one of the most frequently performed ones. By ...

In the words of Sławomir Pietras, we invite you to meet Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's Marriage of ...

Although today Madama Butterfly is counted among Giacomo Puccini’s greatest operatic hits — alongside masterpieces such as Tosca or La Bohème — its world premiere at La Scala was a disaster. The love duet in Act I was met with boos, and when Cio-Cio-San began to sing about the robins building their nests, the audience burst into such laughter that the performance was nearly stopped altogether. Today, it is perhaps ...

Since its premiere in 1956, the musical has been ...
