Lady of the Camellias takes audiences to 19th century Paris for a tale of deep heartbreak and even deeper love. The story centers on Marguerite Gautier, a French courtesan who falls in love with young Armand Duval—but their class differences keep them apart. It is only after Marguerite dies of consumption that Armand realizes how much she truly loved him. Lady of the Camellias is adapted from the book of the same name by Alexandre Dumas fils and set to music by Frédéric Chopin.
