Verdi, Giuseppe. (1813-1901). [La Traviata] Violetta. Opéra en quatre actes.. Paris: Leon Escudier. [1864]. First Edition. Piano-vocal score. Upright 8vo. 276 pp. Engraved. [PN] L.E. 1971. Words in French. Hopkinson 55C. Fuld, p. 204. First Edition of the third version, and first complete French edition. Hopkinson notes that he has seen a copy of this edition with "6me Edition" at the head of the title page, and this is present in our copy. Contemporary red marbled boards, half crimson leather, gilt-stamped at spine with five raised bands. Boards somewhat worn, but a very nice clean copy.
This edition is the version that Verdi wrote for the Théatre Lyrique in October, 1864. The Swedish soprano, Christine Nilsson, made her operatic debut in that performance and is listed in the cast list that appears beside the "Personnages." There are a number of differences from the second version to the present one. The chief one is that this version includes the transposition at the end of Act 3 (p. 135) by which Germont's aria "Di Provenza il mar," immediately follows Violetta's farewell, and Alfredo does not receive her note until the very end of the act.
