One of the most consistently well-loved operas the world over, La Traviata tells the story of a self-sacrificing courtesan.

La Traviata is an opera that sweeps everyone along from the lively opening party and the instantly recognizable and tuneful toast to indulgence, through dramatic confrontations both private and public, and to the most heart-rending of tragic endings.

Verdi’s music is instantly appealing, with a wealth of famous melodies that allow operatic voices to soar and thrill.

The traditional style of Richard Eyre’s production of La Traviata for the Royal Opera, and Bob Crowley’s period designs, have made this staging popular every time it is revived at Covent Garden.

La Traviata is sung in Italian with English surtitles
