Opera Australia: La Traviata
May 7, 2022 @ 7:30 pm - 10:10 pm
$38 – $289
Raise your glass, bat your pretty lashes, it’s Paris in the salons and you’re the life of the party. He’s staring at you, he’s singing for you… Are you tempted?
Violetta wears velvet and lace and drinks only the finest champagne from crystal glasses. Her parties are legendary, her company desired. She’s free and free-spirited, living outside society’s bounds, and for the courtesan, it seems like the party will never end. Could a little love really change everything?
La Traviata is so popular because it puts a life we can only dream of on stage, with its risqué glamour, joys and sorrows.
Verdi’s music sings of freedom with flying melodies, makes merry with rousing drinking songs and leaves us with passion-ate duets between breaking hearts.
This production by Elijah Moshinsky is one of our most successful, featuring lush party scenes in Paris and beautiful autumn afternoons in the countryside.
Lavish sets and exquisite costumes combined with Verdi’s famous score offer the perfect way to experience opera for the first time, or the chance to revisit a favourite with an exciting new cast.
Home-grown talent, Stacey Alleaume reprises her role as Violetta after a stunning season in Handa Opera on Sydney Harbour.
