Verdi’s tragic opera of a Parisian courtesan who sacrifices all for love is vividly told in this classic production of La Traviata, directed by Richard Eyre.
Based on Alexandre Dumas fils’ play La Dame Aux Camélias, La Traviata is one of Verdi’s most popular operas, combining drama, profound emotion and wonderful melodies.
Conveying the indulgent social whirl of 19th century Paris, Eyre’s production provides a vivid setting for Verdi’s tuneful score, which includes such favourites as Violetta’s introspective Ah Fors’è Lui and the duet Pura Siccome Un Angelo.
