In an era where upper-class women were denied higher education, the courtesan served an important function. More than merely a high-class call-girl, she was a well-educated woman who was valued as much for her sophistication and intellectual gifts as for her beauty and physical companionship. This is the story of one of such courtesan, whose chance at happiness is thwarted by her social position. Verdi knew this type of woman could never escape her past, and so this opera never ceases to move us. He has given us not only a social commentary, but an amazingly poignant and melodic score: memorable and beloved for both these reasons.
