RICHARD EYRE’S BEAUTIFUL
PRODUCTION PROVIDES THE PERFECT
SETTING FOR VERDI’S OPERA ABOUT
A COURTESAN WHO SACRIFICES ALL
FOR LOVE.
From the thrill of unexpected romance to a heartbreaking reconciliation that comes
too late – Verdi’s La traviata is one of the most popular of all operas. Alfredo falls
in love in with the courtesan Violetta in glamorous Paris society, but underneath the
surface run darker undercurrents, leading to a tragic ending. The opera’s wealth of
melodies includes the famous Brindisi and the exuberant ‘Sempre libera’ – both
showing the lyricism of Italian opera at its most immediately appealing. Richard
Eyre’s production for The Royal Opera brings out all the emotional colour, from
the giddy discovery of love, through painful confrontation to the inevitable conclusion.
Lavish period sets and costumes enhance the reality of a moving story based on true life.
