A young nobleman, Alfredo, plans to attend, and has long been in love with Violetta.  Before long, Violetta has fallen for him as well, but Alfredo's father disapproves of their relationship. He convinces Violetta to leave Alfredo for the sake of his family's image, not realising how ill she really is.
