La Traviata

Telling the story of Violetta, a so-called 'fallen woman' who sacrifices her own happiness for the sake of her lover's family and future, La Traviata has been thrilling audiences for generations...

Set in Atlantic City in 1928, the opera harnesses the prohibition era of speakeasies and bootlegging. Through Violetta's lover Alfredo; a passionate young man whose optimism has been shaken by time at the front in the first world war, Violetta's protector; a gang boss named 'the Baron', and Alfredo's father; a crooked politician, this new production reveals the hypocrisy and heartache behind the glittering façade of parties.

Verdi's sumptuous melodies are accompanied by a trio of clarinet, cello and piano. With a new libretto in English, La Traciata is brought to you by the Olivier award-winning company behind La Bohème.

Directed in a new English translation by Robin Norton-Hale, and presented by OperaUpClose.

Orchestration by Harry Blake.

A £2.00 booking fee will apply.
