One of the repertoire's most treasured works
An intense love affair begins in the lavish saloons of Paris and ends in bittersweet tragedy in Verdi's' cherished opera. The subject of numerous adaptations, including Moulin Rouge and more, there is nothing like experiencing it in the wonderful surrounds of the opera house where the soaring score and beauty of the work has captivated audiences for nearly 170 years.
The story of La Traviata
As one of the most celebrated courtesans of Paris, the alluring Violetta (Amanda Kingston) has many admirers but has let none of her wealthy suitors near her heart, preferring their generosity with their wallets to their baser attentions. It is in this world she meets Alfredo (Dane Suarez/Pene Pati), a handsome yet penniless member of the bourgeois who wins her love and whisks her away to a countryside idyll in the hope of escaping her past life. Can their passion survive the reality of poverty, reputation and illness, or will everything they have fought to flee overwhelm the strongest emotion of them all?
