A classic romantic tale of doomed love
In the half-world of 19th century Paris, the gentlemen of the day met the girls of the moment at certain theatre, balls and gambling clubs where the code was discretion ... but the game was romance. This is the story of one of those pretty creatures who lived on the quick sands of popularity - Marguerite Gautier, who brightened her wit with champagne, and sometimes her eyes with tears.
Marguerite dreams of a better life. Armand Duval may be the man to provide her with the happy ending her story deserves. However, rigid social convention will ultimately deny her the salvation she craves. From the novel of Alexandre Dumas Fils - La Dame Aux Camellias this is the story which Giuseppe Verdi took for La Traviata.
