La Traviata at the Lyric with Becky. It has been too long since my last opera :D

This universally adored opera owes its popularity to the beauty of the music and the tremendous sympathy evoked by the unlikely title character. Violetta Valery, sometimes described as a saint in courtesan's clothing, sacrifices her fortune, happiness and ultimately her life to preserve her lover's family honor.

Now that is devotion. Or unnecessary self-sacrifice? I'll know soon enough.
