Get swept into the world of 18th century Paris as an unforgettable tale of true love unfurls at Auckland Philharmonia’s Pub Charity Opera in Concert production of Verdi’s La traviata. Right from its famous duet, the ‘Brindisi’, La traviata’s story of passion and loss is one of the most romantic and moving operas ever written. This sublime semi-staged production features a stellar cast of singers, who will perform alongside the powerful sound of Auckland’s full-strength professional orchestra on Saturday 5 July in the Auckland Town Hall.
Translated as ‘The fallen woman’, La traviata tells the tragic tale of one of the most compelling female characters in opera, Violetta Valéry. Verdi’s music is about raw dramatic power, thrilling voices and memorable melody, and La traviata is one of his most beloved operas.
