Interview with the director: "This 'La Traviata' was conceived with a concerted focus on telling Violetta's personal story of love, sacrifice and pursuit of redemption through a noble act," said Buchman. "Her story lives in a hypocritical, male-dominated world that confines courtesans to the "demi-monde"; a world between worlds that sees them worshipped for their beauty, wit and seductive skills, while denying them a complete existence and most importantly, true love. Kept by wealthy men, lavished with luxurious gifts, cash, homes and anything else they desire, the almost imperceptible walls of the "demi-monde" serve like a shadow box to put courtesans on display as exquisite objects, while at the same time imprisoning them within a world few can escape."
