ABOUT

La Traviata is probably one of Giuseppe Verdi’s best-known and most frequently performed operas. Between the bourgeoisie and the Parisian demimonde, between love and illness – La Traviata portrays the hunger for life and love of the courtesan Violetta, who suffers from tuberculosis and feels death lurking around the corner.

Accompanied by a virtuoso pianist, five international opera singers bring Verdi’s opera to the stage in a simple and moving production. Experience the melodies in their perfect purity and an opera evening of a special format that gets under your skin and resonates in your heart.

For this touring opera production by the Berlin Compagnia Nuova, Mien Bogaert developed a set that fits on one EURO pallet. Seven tables, 12 chairs and hundreds of glasses are used in constantly changing constellations, while golden mirrors, a red theatre curtain and neon lights create a mysterious atmosphere.
