La Traviata

A tragic and resonant tale of society and morality, La Traviata combines compelling characters with hugely powerful and instantly recognisable melodies, making it one of the most emotionally engaging and popular operas of all time. The opera tells the famous story of how the beautiful but fragile courtesan Violetta is coerced into sacrificing her one hope of personal happiness for the sake of her lover’s reputation. Peter Konwitschny’s new production of Verdi’s masterpiece gets to the very heart of the opera’s themes of passionate love and tragic death with a modern and uncluttered staging.
