Verdi, Giuseppe:
La Traviata

Hans Gratzer directed one of the most successful Italian operas at the Viennese Volkopera!

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...

Verdi's opera has three acts and based on the libretto by Francesco Maria Piave after the novel "Die Kameliendame" (Alexandre Dumas). The opera ist sung in Italian and with German surtitles.
