Programme

Verdi, Giuseppe:
La Traviata

Andreas Homoki, artistic director of the Komische Oper Berlin, has directed one of the most successful Italian operas at the Oper Leipzig!

Verdi's opera in three acts which is based on the libretto by Francesco Maria Piave after the novel "Die Kameliendame"  by Alexandre Dumas: A brilliant party is in progress and Violetta is receiving her guests. One of them introduces a friend, Alfredo Germont, who has long admired her from afar. Baron Douphol, Violetta's current protector, takes a dislike to Alfredo and refuses to propose the toast when the wine is poured. But when Violetta faints, Alfredo is the one who helps her and unveils his love to her...

Also in this season, you can enjoy this classical love story at the Oper Leipzig!
