Description
La traviata
Violetta is the toast of Paris, and life is one long party. Love has no place in her life until the fateful day she meets Alfredo. Suddenly she finds herself wanting more, but can she leave her past behind? Verdi’s score fills the theatre with his thrilling arias, emotional duets and powerful choruses.
When the curtin goes up on the buzzing Parisian salon you might be forgiven for thinking you have travelled back in time. Michael Yeargan’s sets and Peter J Hall’s lavish period costumes are the perfect backdrop to the lush, sweeping melodies of Verdi’s magnificent La traviata.
It starts with champagne, it continues with song, but when the beautiful courtesan Violetta Valéry sets eyes on young Alfredo Germont her life of parties and paramours suddenly seems so empty. Will true love win out?
This memorable production is brought to life by an outstanding cast. Russian diva Elvira Fatykhova returns to play Violetta, Australian tenor Aldo Di Toro is the love of her life, and Jonathan Summers is his father. Hear them and weep.
You’ll love it if you’re after the ultimate romantic night out, perfect for first time opera goers.
Watch out for all the favourites – a great drinking chorus and Violetta’s spine-tingling aria, ‘Sempre libera’.
Performed in Italian with subtitles.
