Verdi's La traviata

OVERVIEW

It’s a timeless tale of love, sacrifice, and heartbreak. Verdi’s La traviata takes you deep into the world of Violetta, a glamorous Parisian courtesan who falls for the charming Alfredo.

With some of Verdi’s most beautiful and iconic music (including the famous “Sempre libera” and “Brindisi”), La traviata has everything opera lovers crave—fiery emotions, gorgeous arias, and a plot that pulls at your heartstrings.
