La Traviata

Virginia Opera premieres a glittering and glamorous traditional staging of La Traviata. A classic Italian opera composed by one of the masters of the art form - Giuseppe Verdi - La Traviata is the most performed opera in the world today and remains an audience favorite on our stages since the inaugural season when it was first performed in 1975. Set in decadent mid-1800's Paris, the story tells of a lovely courtesan who falls in love with a man she cannot have. Sung in Italian with English supertitles.
