| Heartbreaking and achingly beautiful, Verdi’s
beloved La traviata tells the sweeping tale of lost love and everlasting devotion
in 19th century Parisian society. The beautiful Violetta, a consumptive courtesan,
finds the promise of true happiness with her ardent admirer, Alfredo. To protect
Alfredo from the scandal of their affair, Violetta leaves him, to be reunited only as
she lies dying. Nationally acclaimed soprano Carol
Ann Manzi makes her Eugene Opera debut as Violetta, with
Richard Sanchez as Alfredo. Sung in Italian
with English supertitles. |
