Scene 1: A drawing-room in the house of Violetta
Scene 2: A room on the ground floor of a, country house near Paris
The story opens with a party in the house of Violetta, a Parisian courtesan. Among her guests is Alfred Germont. Violetta is seized with sudden illness when the guests adjourn to the next room to dance, but Alfred remains and declares his love. Violetta at first refuses to take him seriously, but left alone she is deeply touched by his affection.
In Scene 2 Violetta and Alfred are living in retirement outside Paris. In Alfred's absence his father persuades Violetta to give up his son as the scandal is ruining the chances of his daughter's marriage. Violetta finally consents and returns to her former life, making out that she is unfaithful to Alfred.
(continued)
Scene 3: A richly furnished apartment in Flora's mansion
Scene 4: Violetta's bedroom
Flora, a friend of Violetta's, is entertaining, and both Violetta and Alfred are guests. Alfred, stunned by Violetta's action, insults her publicly and is consequently challenged to a duel. Violetta faints.
In the last scene Violetta is dangerously ill and the doctor tells her maid that the case is hopeless. Meanwhile Alfred learns the truth from his father and hastens to Violetta to beg forgiveness. As Violetta lies dying the lovers are reconciled.
