La Traviata: Teatro Real in Madrid
About the Event
Madrid's opera house presents the lyrical drama that brought Verdi legendary status through music, with a profound sense of humanity and psychological portrayal of the characters and their feelings.
Behind the outward show of luxury and frivolous pleasure, Paris hides the stark cruelty of a social class for whom everything can be bought and sold. With this backdrop of bitter transience, only Violetta stands as a classic heroine, whose sacrifice transcends love and death. These two themes are brought to life by David McVicar's staging, which, with his usual elegance, sets the drama in a world of romantic references while retaining an up‐to‐date perspective.
Opera in three acts
Production of Teatro Real, in coproduction with Gran Teatre del Liceu de Barcelona, Scottish Opera Glasgow and Welsh National Opera Cardiff
