# *LA TRAVIATA* von Giuseppe Verdi 03 FEBRUARY 2017– 01 APRIL 2017

**DESCRIPTION -** Raise your glass, flutter your pretty lashes, it's Paris in the salons and you're the life of this party. He's staring at you, he's singing for you... Are you tempted?

**Violetta** wears velvet and lace and drinks the very best champagne from crystal glasses. Her parties are legendary, her company sought after. She's free and free-spirited, living outside society's bounds, and for the courtesan, it seems like the party will never end. Could a little love really change everything?

***La Traviata*** is so popular because it puts a life we couldn't possibly dream of on stage, with its risqué glamour, joys and sorrows. **Verdi's** music paints a picture of freedom with flying melodies, makes merry with rousing drinking songs and brings it all to a close with passionate duets between breaking hearts.

This production by **Elijah Moshinsky** is one of our most successful, featuring lush party scenes in Paris and beautiful autumn afternoons in the countryside. Lavish, crowded sets and exquisite costumes combined with **Verdi's** famous, hummable tunes offer the perfect way to experience opera for the first time, or the chance to revisit a favourite with an exciting new cast.

The season opens with **Ermonela Jaho** as ***Violetta,*** who *The Economist* called *"the world's most acclaimed soprano"* after she won the reader's choice award at the International Opera Awards, and also features two Australian star sopranos, Lorina Gore and Emma Matthews.
