A life in the limelight and the intoxication of fame - Violetta lives the dream of a shining star, celebrated by the masses. But this dream is visibly turning into a nightmare. What is still private in life, what is staged? What is true, what is just show? Who do her fans and friends love? Who is the artificial figure Violetta Valery, and who remains of Violetta beyond the stage? The boundaries become blurred and plunge a young woman into identity crises and finally into death.

Yesterday as today, La traviata remains highly topical. Every era has its own forms of prostitution and demimonde, has its own icons, most of them polarizing. Every era is short-lived and forgets just as quickly as it was glowingly celebrated. Verdi and his librettist Francesco Maria Piave used Alexandre Dumas' Lady of the Camellias as a model.

Junge Oper Baden-Württemberg is the only statewide opera project organized exclusively by young people. Once a year, young artists from the musical theater come together to stage an opera production. The jobw is organized as a non-profit association, and all participants work voluntarily to rejuvenate the opera.
