La Traviata: Oper Leipzig
About the Event
Andreas Homoki, artistic director of the Opera Zurich, directs a brilliant staging of a classic Italian opera at the Oper Leipzig
Verdi's opera in three acts is based on the libretto by Francesco Maria Piave, itself an adaptation of the novel Die Kameliendame by Alexandre Dumas. It opens with a party as Violetta receives her guests. One of them introduces a friend, Alfredo Germont, who has long admired her from afar. Baron Douphol, Violetta's current suitor, 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…
