The novel "Lady with Camellias" immortalized the name of the French playwright, poet and novelist - Alexander Dumas-son. The image of the Parisian courtesan Margarita Gauthier began to play with new colors when the great actress Sarah Bernard embodied it on stage, and the world-famous star Greta Garbo in cinema. The premiere of the play, based on the novel, was attended by the composer Verdi, who later composed the famous opera La Traviata based on The Lady with the Camellias.
