LA TRAVIATA - Giuseppe Verdi

La traviata – Opera by Giuseppe Verdi

In Italian with German and English surtitles
Recommended from age 14

Hosting lavish parties, drowning illness in champagne, celebrating pain away – Violetta Valéry lives on borrowed time. Then she meets Alfredo Germont and develops feelings for him. But is there room for a woman like her between passion and marriage? Hans Gratzer’s timeless production presents a precise and emotional love story that cannot survive the rigid morality of its time.

La traviata unfolds in three acts:

Act 1 – Paris: Violetta meets Alfredo, who has long admired her. She begins to believe in true love.
Act 2 – Countryside: They live together, but Alfredo's father Giorgio persuades Violetta to leave for the sake of his family’s reputation.
Act 3 – Paris: Violetta is poor and terminally ill. Alfredo returns, but too late. She dies in his arms.
