Lively, intoxicating parties, luxurious, unbridled life, sparkling champagne - and a slowly killing disease. All this is the life of a camellia lady, until true love unexpectedly enters her life.
La traviata - The Fallen Woman. The theme swept through the 19th century as a sensation in the arts, making a Parisian courtesan of mesmerising beauty, Violetta Valéry, one of the most famous Verdi operas.

The Hungarian State Opera House is the only theatre in Hungary with a large company, specialising in operas and ballets. The building is one of Budapest's most important 19th century monuments. It was built in neo-Renaissance style according to the plans of Miklós Ybl. The richly decorated interior was designed by renowned Hungarian artists, including Mór Than, Károly Lotz and Bertalan Székely.
