La Traviata

Violetta is a coveted courtesan, the toast of Paris, desired by many. When she meets the ardent Alfredo, her life changes forever.

But who is the woman behind the courtesan? Can any of us escape our past? This fresh production of an opera classic invites new questions.

Director Sarah Giles brings Violetta’s inner world centre stage in her glittering production of Verdi's La Traviata, which critics acclaimed an absolute triumph.
