La Traviata by Giuseppe Verdi
Where does the worldwide popularity of the masterpiece La Traviata come from? From that poignant story of an unseemly love with its incredibly forceful scenes, the complex yet sublime vocal part of the title role, the tunes everyone hums, or just the genius of its composer? A little of all perhaps...
A true romantic drama that hits the audience right in the heart, La Traviata is today one of the most performed opera in the world.
