In La Traviata, Verdi defied dramatic convention by putting the climax right in the middle rather than near the end -- and making that climax last only one minute! It is so achingly beautiful, he leaves you yearning for more of it, all the way to the end of the drama. Actually, well beyond the end of the drama. I first saw this opera when I was a kid, with my mother, in Munich. And like many great moments in many great operas, it never left me. I also have to comment that although some fault Anna Netrebko for being so beautiful, in my view she has everything. A great voice, great acting ability, and huge charisma. The fact that she has a reputation for being a superficial party girl in real life only makes her ability to portray depth onstage all the more intriguing. youtube/watch?v=YAGJexBqfTs&t=63m32s
