One of the greatest operas of all time, La Traviata is a work of true musical genius. It has absolutely everything you could wish for in an opera – beautiful music, a touching story, grandeur, romance, intimacy and atmosphere. Based on a semi-autobiographical novella by Alexandre Dumas, fils, the opera tells the story of Violetta Valéry, a beautiful and charming young courtesan who falls in love with an ardent young gentleman from a reputable family, only to be haunted by her socially questionable past. Verdi's masterwork will move you to tears and touch your heart.
