Description

Thrill in this stunning production of Verdi’s best-loved opera, which takes you on a journey from unexpected romance to a heartbreaking reconciliation that comes too late. Revered director Richard Eyre has created a production for the Royal Opera House that brings out all the emotional colour: from the giddy discovery of love through painful confrontation to the inevitable conclusion. Featuring legendary perfomer Plácido Domingo, La Traviata offers a wealth of melodies, including the famous “Brindisi” and the exuberant “Sempre libera,” which show the lyricism of Italian opera at its most immediately appealing.

In Italian with English subtitles.

Includes two fifteen-minute intermissions.
