Way too much unreferenced material and personal opinion in this article
It is nice that an editor or some editors like this rather obscure opera enough to go to all the trouble of putting so much effort into this article but WP needs references for material put into articles and we don't add our personal opinions. There are long quotes from contemporary reviews with no references - how can a reader trust this material without any way to WP:VERIFY it? Then a long long section of seemingly every premiere it had, again entirely without references. That should really all be removed. Then the performance history stops at 2002 but I feel sure there must have been performances since then. It is not encyclopedic to say things such as  Perhaps too many critics like Donizetti in a box, as if all his operas must operate in the same way, as if all must compete with Lucia di Lammermoor unless it is a direct quote from a cited authority. WP editors' personal opinions do not belong in articles. Same with Curiously, writers have accorded Leonora---despite lacking Lucia-like preeminence---an acceptance denied Elena. It is noteworthy that Violetta's Amami, Alfredo is clearly quoted from the opening of Donizetti's Pia de' Tolomei - does not belong in this article at all, it is not discussing Traviata or Pia de Tolomei and is again unreferenced. I am taking that out right now but I will give editors a few days  to add references to the material that lacks them before removing it. The synopsis has a strange format with the names of the arias and other musical numbers in bold and too much untranslated Italian from the libretto - “Una maschera ardita / Ogni mio passo spia, m'incalza ed osa ardita...” “Ove son? - Chi piange qui?.... / Mio nipote ov'è? Morì? / Voi chi siete? - Che piangete? / Ma Fernando ov'è?" etc. This article really needs to be completely re-written.Smeat75 (talk) 18:24, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
