La traviata

By Giuseppe Verdi
Libretto by Francesco Maria Piave, based on the play by Alexandre Dumas

One of Verdi’s greatest operas, the heartbreaking tragedy La traviata centers on the beautiful Parisian courtesan, Violetta, who finds true love with the young and ardent Alfredo. But when Alfredo’s father attempts to save his family from social scandal by parting the lovers, their relationship must come to a tragic end. Some of the most passionate and romantic arias ever written – including “Sempre libera,” “De miei bollenti spiriti” and “Parigi, o cara” – were composed for this classic opera.

La traviata features full orchestra, sets, costumes and chorus and will be presented in Italian with English surtitles projected above the stage of the intimate Berlind Theatre.
