La traviata Giuseppe Verdi
Opera Holland Park, W8 6LU , [Venue Details]#OHPTraviata Revival of 2018 production by Opera Holland Park Libretto by Francesco Maria Piave Sung in Italian with English surtitles With the City of London Sinfonia and the Opera Holland Park Chorus
Heavily censored at its 1853 premiere, Verdi’s impassioned portrait of a celebrated courtesan in the last months of her life remains one of the most powerful stories of nineteenth century Paris, decadence, disease and selfless love.
In startling contrast to the ghostly atmospherics of Lucia di Lammermoor, Verdi’s 1853 portrait of a celebrated courtesan in love with a callow youth from a provincial bourgeois family is as unflinching in its examination of the decadence of the Parisian demimonde as a novel by Zola. As Violetta Valéry navigates the last months of her life, she must choose between hedonism and self-sacrifice, escaping then returning to the city that made her and will eventually destroy her. Sumptuously designed by Cordelia Chisholm, with reference to the scandalous paintings of Gustave Courbet and John Singer Sargent, and described as “world class” in The Stage and “dazzling” in The Guardian, Rodula Gaitanou’s exceptional 2018 production of La traviata returns to Holland Park with an outstanding cast.
