La Traviata, Staatstheater Braunschweig, Alexander Joel Part 1

When Courtesan Violetta and nobleman Alfredo meet, it does not take them long to give in to love. Their whirlwind romance takes them from the bustling social salons of Paris into the quiet French countryside. She leaves a life of luster and riches behind. He angers his father by living in sin with an impure woman. After a visit by Alfredos father, Violetta realizes, that them being together is destroying Alfredo’s life and his family’s reputation. She returns to her former life and is confronted by an angry Alfredo, who thinks she has used him. Some time passes by, and Violetta is on her deathbed. Tuberculosis has struck her down. Poor and alone, she awaits death. When Alfredo learns the reason why Violetta left him and that she is dying, he comes to her. They plan to leave Paris, but there is no time left.

After Alexandre Dumas’ The Lady of the Camellias Verdi composed an opera full of undying melodies, beginning with the famous drinking song “Libiamo ne ‘liete calici” via Violettas heart-wrenching aria “Estrano…Af fors’e lui” to Violetta and Alfredo’s hopeful, yet sad Duetto “Parigi, o cara”. It is no wonder, that La Traviata is one of the most played operas.

The Foundry, Töreboda

A festive and delightful opera in a critically acclaimed and vividly staged production from Glyndebourne Festival Opera.

The old should not meddle in the affairs of the young—this is the moral of Don Pasquale, Donizetti’s witty and exuberant comedy, which satirises arranged marriages and celebrates youthful, genuine love.
