Programme
Verdi La traviata
One of opera’s most enduring masterpieces, with music of exquisite tenderness and lyricism, Verdi’s La traviata is a tragic story that is both powerful and deeply touching. Returning after their sparkling production of Platée (2024) and RPS Awardwinning The Turn of the Screw (2019/22) are director Louisa Muller and designer Christopher Oram. We also welcome back Madison Leonard and Oleksiy Palchycov as Violetta and Alfredo, whose partnership delighted us all in L’elisir d’amore last year. The Philharmonia Orchestra will perform under the baton of Douglas Boyd, and Tess Jackson will make her conducting debut with Garsington Opera for two performances.
In this heart-rending love story, the young and beautiful Violetta has the chance of true love, but forces beyond her control will tear them apart. This lavish new production, set in 1939 Paris, sees Violetta preparing herself with what little time she has left and wrestling with what freedom really means.
Co-production with Santa Fe Opera, Lyric Opera of Chicago and The Dallas Opera
Sung in Italian with English supertitles
