EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases a scene from Giuseppe Verdi's iconic opera, La Traviata, featuring the Piccolomini Waltz. The cover of this manuscript, believed to date back to the 1850s, depicts a dramatic moment from the opera as Marietta Piccolomini, the first international soprano to achieve fame in the role of Violetta, faints in shock and hurt. The scene is set at Almacks or the Court Balls, a popular social venue for the Victorian elite. In this instance, Alfredo, portrayed here with a fierce expression, has insulted Violetta by flinging his gambling winnings, a pricey sixpence, at her feet. The insult is too much for Violetta to bear, causing her to lose consciousness. The Piccolomini Waltz, a beloved waltz from the opera, adds to the romantic and dramatic atmosphere of the scene. This cover is a testament to the powerful impact of music and theatre during the Victorian era and the enduring legacy of Verdi's masterpiece, La Traviata.
