Opera on Screen: La Traviata

Description

La Traviata features a star cast including Royal Opera favorite Plácido Domingo. The opera tells the story of the Parisian courtesan Violetta (Ermonela Jaho) and her tragic love affair with Alfredo Germont (Charles Castronovo). Their romantic idyll in the countryside ends abruptly when Alfredo’s father Giorgio (Domingo), shocked by their scandalous liaison, persuades Violetta to leave Alfredo for the good of his family – even though he knows Violetta is seriously ill. A distraught Alfredo finally learns the truth when Violetta is on her death bed. The opera contains some of Verdi’s most inspired arias including Violetta’s Sempre libera and Addio del passato. Antonello Manacorda makes his Royal Opera debut as conductor. Sung in Italian. Two intervals and three acts.
