# La traviata opens at La Fenice on 6 March 1853 as a completed opera on a contemporary courtesan subject Date: 1853 ## The fact La Fenice and Britannica print 6 March 1853 as La traviata’s premiere, Piave after Dumas fils. First-night difficulty and later success are one opera, not split twins. Police and moral censors remain in the neighbourhood. It is one event. ## Context A staged modern courtesan is a social-visibility path of medium confidence, not a unique public-health series. Access to the score is also educational; cohesion is the stored driver because the subject put a stigmatised woman in a civic theatre. [Giuseppe Verdi](/people/giuseppe-verdi)’s documented role is bounded by other offices and collaborators named in the sources below. Sharing a field with them is not a reason to drop a documented act, and it is not a reason to assign later consequences done in the name after death. Lived 1813–1901. Impresarios, librettists, censors, khedival officers, and Ricordi share the public file. Va pensiero’s later nationalist reception is not stored as his revolutionary act. Complex contribution is required. Named person as heading of the dated public instrument. Later editors, museums, printers, or offices share publication. Complex where later carriers are the surviving public file. ## Evidence and sources La Fenice and Britannica independently describe the 1853 Traviata premiere. Official or archival record: Teatro La Fenice — Rigoletto and Traviata heritage (https://www.teatrolafenice.it/en/; Fondazione Teatro La Fenice). ## Significance A completed public opera on a stigmatised contemporary figure is a cohesion-and-visibility path. It is not a clinic. ## What is established and what is not Established: 6 March 1853 premiere. Not established: unique later decriminalisation coefficients. What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions. The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit. Established here: a sourced, dated public instrument with a named contribution by Giuseppe Verdi. They are not a public rating. The driver `social-cohesion` is attached because the mechanism named in Significance follows from this instrument, not because a standing list of welfare headings needed another tick. Giuseppe Verdi did not file a later UNESCO form, a later Loeb colophon, or a later museum label as a personal act. A portrait or conventional bust is not this mechanism. Allegation, reconstruction, and established occurrence stay distinct. Do not merge with Trovatore. Keep the carrier date of later English distinct from the received historical year stored in the date field. Do not read a later English edition as a recovered autograph of Giuseppe Verdi. ## People - Giuseppe Verdi: https://factrail.ai/people/giuseppe-verdi ## Drivers - Social Cohesion: https://factrail.ai/drivers/social-cohesion ## Sources - https://www.britannica.com/biography/Giuseppe-Verdi - https://www.teatrolafenice.it/en/ ## Methodology https://factrail.ai/methodology Canonical: https://factrail.ai/facts/gv-traviata-1853
