With a promise to renounce her partying ways, they move to the country to begin their idyllic life together. Giorgio, Alfredo’s father, concerned about the harm to the family’s reputation, convinces her to leave him.

Her loyalty and love for Alfredo forces Violetta to pay the ultimate price for his happiness. Alfredo realising too late what has happened, arrives at her deathbed.
