How well received was La Traviata when it first performed?

The premiere of La Traviata was not well-received by the audience. The opera's subject matter, which deals with a courtesan's relationship with a wealthy man, was considered scandalous and immoral by many. The audience also found the music to be too dissonant and unconventional. As a result, the opera was met with boos and hisses on opening night.
