As part of the Buxton International Festival’s return with another summer of world class music and unforgettable storytelling, the Festival is thrilled to present this much loved masterpiece, La traviata by Giuseppe Verdi: a Buxton International Festival and Norwich Theatre production featuring the Buxton International Festival Orchestra.
Step into the glittering world of nineteenth century Paris as one of opera’s most unforgettable love stories takes centre stage. La traviata is Verdi at full brilliance, weaving a tale that shimmers with glamour, passion and heartbreak. At its heart is Violetta, a woman adored by society yet living a life defined by fragility and compromise. When the earnest and hopeful Alfredo enters her world, she dares to imagine a future shaped by love rather than expectation. Their romance is intoxicating, but the world they inhabit is quick to judge, and their happiness comes under threat from the very forces they long to escape.
This new production brings together a world class creative team and exceptional cast to tell the story with freshness, colour and emotional depth. The Buxton International Festival Orchestra brings Verdi’s music to vibrant life, making this a La traviata to remember and an unmissable highlight of the season.
Sung in Italian with English surtitles.
