ROH: La Traviata screened at Number 8, Pershore

Nineteenth century Paris is a place of contrasts; glamour and superficiality, love and lust, life and death. Courtesan Violetta sings some of Verdi’s most acclaimed arias including the joyous ‘Sempre libera’, in her poignant and passionate encounters with Alfredo and Germont.

Alcántara (Baron Douphol), Andrés Presno (Gastone de Letorières) and Jeremy White (Marquis d’Obigny). With The Royal Opera Chorus and Orchestra of the Royal Opera House.
