La Signora delle Camelie, an autobiographical love story
As many will know La signora delle camelie, original title The Lady of the Camellias, is the famous nineteenth-century novel written by Alexandre Dumas son inspired by his turbulent love affair with the courtesan Marie Duplessis, who takes on the role of Marguerite in the story.
The plot tells the tormented and almost impossible love between Marguerite Gautier and the twenty year old Armand Duval, and the choreography of the ballet on stage at the Teatro San Carlo, along with the music, will transmit to the audience the tragic inner torments, due to the pettiness of bourgeois society. The show goes beyond the fairytale atmospheres of the great classics, as stated by choreographer Derek Deane, and will evoke the most true, intense and dramatic feelings of this famous story that also inspired Giuseppe Verdi for his melodrama La Traviata.
