Parties. Passion. Paris.
Violetta is the belle of the ball at every party in Paris, until she falls in love with Alfredo. They run away from high society for a simple life in the country, when Alfredo’s father asks Violetta to sacrifice her love to save the family’s honor.
This lavish new production set in 1939 Paris is directed by Louisa Muller, who is reframing the opera as a memory play in which our heroine is preparing herself with what little time she has left and wrestling with what freedom really means. It features an international cast: Armenian soprano Mané Galoyan is Violetta, Uzbek tenor Behkzod Davronov is Alfredo, and baritone Alfredo Daza is Giorgio Germont!
