This haunting tragedy with its beautiful arias will transport you to the world in which it is set.

La Traviata is an Opera in three acts by Giuseppe Verdi, set to an Italian libretto by Francesco Maria Piave - a love story shrouded in sacrifice and misunderstanding. A masterpiece in its own right, it contains some of Verdi's most beautiful and memorable music.

Verdi's music encompasses an astonishing range of moods and emotions, from Alfredo's fresh-faced charms to Violetta's vivid effervescence, which is perfectly captured in 'Sempre libera', a vocal showpiece to rival any other.

A tragic and resonant tale of society and morality, La Traviata combines compelling characters with hugely powerful, moving and instantly recognisable melodies, making it still, 160 years after its 1853 debut, one of the most emotionally engaging and popular Operas of all time.
