Opera Australia: La Traviata
"What should I do? Plunge into the vortex of pleasure and drown there?" - Violetta
Violetta is a coveted courtesan, the toast of Paris, desired by many. When she meets the ardent Alfredo, her life changes forever and she longs to break free of her past. But can she? Who is this woman beyond the sparkling salon? This fresh production of a classic invites new questions.
From the vivacious chorus of the famous 'Brindisi' to Violetta's soaring 'Sempre libera' and the breathless notes at the opera's tragic end, Verdi's music for La Traviata is a thrilling, emotional experience.
This "triumphant" (Sydney Morning Herald) new staging is making its Melbourne debut. Director Sarah Giles brings Violetta's inner world centre stage in an acclaimed, glittering staging that shows the heartache behind the glamour.
Charles Davis' set highlights Violetta's private turmoil, even in the midst of spectacular crowd scenes. His stunning gowns reflect the silhouettes of the Victorian era, with all the fun of 20th century couture.
Stacey Alleaume and Samantha Clarke, two of Australia's most celebrated young sopranos, offer their distinctive interpretations of Violetta. Rising star Filipe Manu makes his role debut as Alfredo, joining them under conductor Giampaolo Bisanti, who brings his renowned Italianate style to Australia for the first time.
