About this listen

 The Lady of the Camellias (French La Dame aux camélias) is a captivating novel by Alexandre Dumas, fils, first published in 1848. This poignant story of love and sacrifice was quickly adapted for the stage, debuting at the Theatre de Vaudeville in Paris on February 2, 1852, to widespread acclaim. Inspired by this tale, Giuseppe Verdi transformed it into the celebrated 1853 opera La Traviata, where the central character, Marguerite Gautier, was reimagined as Violetta Valéry. In English-speaking audiences, the novel is known as Camille, and it has seen over sixteen adaptations on Broadway alone. The character of Marguerite Gautier is inspired by the real-life Marie Duplessis, the beloved of Dumas himself. (Summary from Wikipedia)
