Verdi, Giuseppe:
LaTraviata

Verdi's beloved opera La Traviata, presented in the intimate setting of St. Mark's Anglican Church by four singers in costume, accompanied by piano.

La Traviata, the story of "The Fallen One", based on the novel "La dame aux Camelias" by Alexandre Dumas, was first performed at the Teatro La Fenice in Venice on March 6, 1853. More recently, the story was the basis for the movies "Moulin Rouge" with Nicole Kidman and "Pretty Woman" with Richard Gere and Julia Roberts.
