An original production of the Salzburger Festspiele at the Metropolitan Opera

“Our mistake, you see, was to write interminable large operas, which had to fill an entire evening. And now along comes someone with a one or two-act opera without all that pompous nonsense – that was a happy reform.”
Giuseppe Verdi

Giuseppe Verdi’s La Traviata survived a notoriously unsuccessful opening night to become one of the best-loved operas in the repertoire. Following the larger scale dramas of Rigoletto and Il Trovatore, its intimate scope and subject matter inspired the composer to create some of his most profound and heartfelt music.

Considered a pinnacle of the soprano repertoire, the role of opera’s most beloved heroines, Violetta, is sung by Sonya Yoncheva opposite Michael Fabiano as her lover, Alfredo, and Thomas Hampson as his father, Germont.
