La Traviata

La Traviata is one of the most famous
operas of all time. Based on the
novel La Dame aux Camelias by
Alexandre Dumas fils, its story of
tragic love has captivated audiences
for over 150 years. Recently, the
opera was the inspiration for the hit
film Moulin Rouge.
Musical highlights include the
famous Act One ‘drinking song’
(Libiamo ne’lieti Calici) and Violetta’s
beautiful farewell aria (Addio del
Passato) in Act Three.
This traditional production of La
Traviata sees the Compagnia d’Opera
Italiana di Milano return to Malvern
after the success of Tosca last year.
The company has given some three
thousand performances throughout
Europe and will sing the opera in its
original Italian accompanied by full
orchestra and chorus.
