La traviata
Giuseppe Verdi
Sung in Italian with English Supertitles
New co-production with Welsh National Opera
Where do the gentlemen of 19th century Paris go once their wives have gone to bed? Scottish Director David McVicar and Tanya McCallin, the creative team behind Scottish Opera’s Der Rosenkavalier, bring you this authentic take on one of the world’s most famous operas. Bohemian artists, showgirls, courtesans … the rich and the wretched mix together within the shady underworld of the Parisian demi-monde.
La traviata is the impassioned story of Violetta Valéry, a famous courtesan who falls in love with Alfredo Germont, much to the distress of his father. Alfredo’s father convinces Violetta that she must leave his son in order to avoid bringing scandal to the family name, forcing her to concoct a series of heart-breaking lies to forestall her lover. Once Alfredo discovers the truth of her selfless sacrifice, he rushes again to her side but it is too late - Violetta is dying of consumption.
This is the intimate story of a fallen woman, a tragic heroine and true unadulterated love. The setting perfectly encompasses the power and devastation of this passionate encounter in what is sure to be a deeply moving and immensely powerful production.
Carmen Giannattasio makes her Scottish Opera début playing the lead role of Violetta, Federico Lepre sings Alfredo, and Richard Zeller returns to Scottish Opera as Giorgio Germont. We are delighted to welcome back French conductor Emmanuel Joel-Hornak.
