Crises. by PETER WHALLEY
She was a French country girl: Alphonsine. Plessis.
She moved to Paris. changed her her name to
Marie Duplessis and became a fashionable courtesan. In 1848,
Alexandre Dumas wrote her story, called her Marguerite, and immortalised her, first in a novel, later in a play as The Lady of the Camellias. Verdi called her Violetta and made her into the heroine of an opera. La traviata; and when Greta Garbo acted her part in a film, she was called Camille.
Jonathan Miller, who recently produced Verdi's opera for the Kent Opera Company, explores the transformations of this fascinating character.
With the voices of EVE KARPF and ANTHONY HYDE , and extracts from a recording of La traviata by the BERLIN STATE OPERA
