The Italian Opera
The opera that Edward and Vivian go to is actually La traviata, an Italian opera about a man that falls for a young courtesan. However, the opera has a darker ending compared to that of Pretty Woman. The film may have eventually received a happy Cinderella ending, but the opera La traviata, on which Pretty Woman is loosely based, ends in heartbreak. Violetta, the young courtesan, dies from tuberculosis at the end of La traviata while her lover is left in deep anguish.
