La traviata
Royal Opera House LIVE Opera
Corinium Cinema
Wednesday 30 January, 6.45pm
From the thrill of unexpected romance to a
heartbreaking reconciliation that comes too late – Verdi’s La traviata is one
of the most popular of all operas. Alfredo falls in love in with the courtesan
Violetta in glamorous Paris society, but underneath the surface run darker
undercurrents, leading to a tragic ending. The opera’s wealth of melodies
includes the famous Brindisi and the exuberant ‘Sempre libera’ – both showing
the lyricism of Italian opera at its most immediately appealing. Richard Eyre’s
production for The Royal Opera brings out all the emotional colour, from the
giddy discovery of love, through painful confrontation to the inevitable
conclusion. Lavish period sets and costumes enhance the reality of a moving
story based on true life.
Sung in Italian with English subtitles.
Cost: £17 per adult, £15 members
