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.

La traviata

Auckland Town Hall

It’s half a century since the infamous drowning of Dr George Ian Ogilvie Duncan; a moment in time that triggered an alleged police cover-up, a city-wide scandal, national outrage, a Scotland Yard investigation… and a glaring absence of convictions.
