Published by G Schirmer Opera Score
Now one of Verdi's most beloved works, La Traviata was initially far from a success
Verdi declared its 1853 premiere a "fiasco," and later reworked parts of five pieces in the first two acts, retaining the original setting for the rest
The first performance of the new version in 1854 was a tremendous success, and the opera was quickly taken up by theaters around the world
