An unforgettable tale of true love, passion and heartbreak.
The young nobleman Alfredo and the courtesan Violetta have fallen hopelessly in love. For Violetta, this is something new; it’s the first time her heart has ever truly been touched. But their blissful idyll is interrupted when Alfredo’s father asks her to make a terrible sacrifice…
Verdi is all about thrilling singing and unforgettable melody. The ‘Brindisi’ at the very start of La traviata is one of the biggest hits in all of opera. Above all, though, Verdi’s music is about raw dramatic power.
Giordano Bellincampi, who has this music in his blood, steps up to the podium again for Auckland Philharmonia’s highly anticipated, annual celebration of opera. He is joined by a stellar cast, including New Zealanders Amina Edris and Oliver Sewell as the lovers Violetta and Alfredo, making a welcome return to our shores.
This will be a highlight of the season — don’t miss it!
