  Austin 360 & Statesman.com Restaurant Reviews: La Traviata
Chef-owner of La Traviata, a small downtown bistro, Gillcrist is an extraordinary cook who puts intense effort into the simple dishes of Italy.
To avoid the tough, rubbery qualities that so often inflict calamari, La Traviata's squid is cut fresh and added to the pan when the tomato sauce -- finished off individually for each dish -- is less than two minutes away from its ideal consistency.
It's the mastery of those basics that puts La Traviata, owned by Gillcrist and her brother and sister-in-law, Dan and Olga Gillcrist, on a par with many small trattorias in Italy, where simple dishes with immense flavor abound.

La Traviata was the most modern text that Verdi ever set, and its realistic portrayal of illness and raw emotional charge reflect this 'modernism'.
Written in 1853, the same year as Il Trovatore, La Traviata tells the story of the ill-fated love between Violetta, a Parisian courtesan, and Alfredo, a callow man of neither common sense nor fortune.

 VERDI: LA TRAVIATA (PAL) recommended cd collection, cd review and cd details.
When the legendary Venetian Teatro La Fenice, which had been completely destroyed by fire in 1996, rose like a phoenix from the ashes again, its rebirth was celebrated with Verdi’s La Traviata, an opera that had seen its première more than 150 years earlier in the same theatre.
Led by star conductor Lorin Maazel, a cast of brilliant singer-actors brought an exact replica of the March 1853 version to the stage, giving audiences the opportunity to experience the opera as the world first heard at its premiere in Venice.
The original score had been found in the archives of La Fenice, so that La Traviata could relive its premiere without any revisions.

 Traviata, La (1983)

Thus, a "corrupted man" is a "traviato" and so "the fallen woman" or "the corrupted woman" is "La Traviata".
It is reported that his favourite opera is "La Traviata", and my eyebrows arched.
