Does Kalmus have a Bb edition published? I don't have access to a
C clarinet and am writing out the more difficult parts now but
running out of time... Thanks

No, they don't. Maybe now is a good time to buckle down and learn how to transpose by sight, especially if you are in an opera orchestra.

If you can't find a Bb version - and there may not be - you could try the alternative to hand transposition.
Do you have access to a computer with music software eg Music Publisher, Sibelius (or others) and a scanner ? If it's for your own use (and a substitute for hand transposition) there should be no problem. Scan it, check the recognised file against the original and ask the computer to transpose it up 1 full tone for Bb or up 1.5 tones for A clarinet, depending on your facility on the key into which the original has been changed. Then print it.
Destroy after use, or archive it for your own use in the future.
You may find the quality of the original is insufficiently clear for the scanner to make a good original bitmap. You should get a very professional looking result. It's a bit fiddly on the first attempt but familiarity will expedite matters. Good Luck

Verdi died in 1901. His music is public domain in the US. The copies of the music are perfectly legitimate to keep around.
Publishers "copyright" everything in sight, the law be damned. If it was published prior to 1923 it's in the public domain in the US. Any written editorial remarks may be copyrighted, as may be a piano accompaniment or arrangement, but the original music does not fall under copyright in the US.

Luck's music library does sell some transposed clarinet parts. It's a 1800 number. The store is in Detroit.
Transposing seems hard when you first do it. But if you are serious enough to be playing Traviata, it's worth learning to do. Boy does it ever come in handy when you can transpose at sight!
