-Originally titled ''Violetta'' after the opera’s main character, ''[[La Traviata]]'' was based on Alexandre Dumas’s play, ''[[La Dame aux Camélias]]'' (1852), which he adapted from his own novel of the same name (1848).
+Originally titled ''[[Violetta]]'' after the opera’s main character, ''[[La Traviata]]'' was based on Alexandre Dumas’s play, ''[[La Dame aux Camélias]]'' (1852), which he adapted from his own novel of the same name (1848).
 ''[[La Traviata]]'' is a tragic tale about Parisian courtesan, Violetta, who attempts to leave the life she knows behind to try and finally find true love. When she meets romantic, Alfredo, the hypocrisy of upper-class society threatens their love – and someone must pay the ultimate price.
