Details

Amongst the most popular of Verdi's operas, La traviata is the work of a master of the musical drama. Its perfumed arias and soaring choruses vividly depict the ravishingly decadent but glamorous world of Parisian high society as the background to a heart rending story of romantic happiness destroyed. Original book called La Dame aux Camelias. One of the most popular operas ever written performed on a purpose-built shimmering stage on the waters of Sydney Harbour. Extravagant and devastatingly romantic, La Traviata is perfect for first-time opera-goers and experienced spectators alike and includes some of the most recognisable tunes in classical music. Sung in Italian with English Subtitles.
