Opera & Ballet International proudly presents an Ellen Kent Production of Verdi’s LA TRAVIATA
Starring Elena Dee Alyona Kistenyova

The love story that gripped Paris, back by public demand - a tragic tale of searing passion and memorable music, La Traviata is Verdi’s outstanding interpretation of one of the most popular love stories of the 19thCentury, La Dame aux Camelias. Based on a true story, it tells of the passionate loves and life of the consumptive courtesan, Violetta.

There are many echoes of Verdi’s own life in Traviata and he threw himself into the music. The highlights include the Brindisi, the best known drinking song in opera, the duet Un Di Felice and Violetta’s haunting aria Addio Del Passato.

This magnificent production boasts sumptuous sets and costumes.

Sung in Italian with English surtitles.
Cast subject to change
