The title "La traviata" means literally The Woman Who Strayed, or perhaps more poetically The Lost One. The opera is immensely popular; La Traviata is the third most performed opera in North America.The opera will be performed by 10 actors/singers in historical costumes. The orchestra accompanying the singers is composed by a string quintet and a pianist.
