3. La traviata
An unforgettable tale of true love, passion and heartbreak.
The young nobleman Alfredo and the courtesan Violetta have fallen hopelessly in love. For Violetta, this is something new; it’s the first time her heart has ever truly been touched. But their blissful idyll is interrupted when Alfredo’s father asks her to make a terrible sacrifice…
Verdi is all about thrilling singing and unforgettable melody. The ‘Brindisi’ at the very start of La traviata is one of the biggest hits in all of opera. Above all, though, Verdi’s music is about raw dramatic power.

This ‘choreographic symphony’ is a stupendous showpiece for a great orchestra.
