A large part of the operatic repertoire is born from literary or dramaturgical works that motivated composers to transform them into opera. Starting from the examples in this edition that evoke this symbiosis: "La Traviata" by Verdi, based on "The Lady of the Camellias" by Alexandre Dumas and "Julie" by Boesmans based on "Miss Julie" by August Strindberg, we will disclose moments of this fascinating path of contagion and inspiration.
