La Traviata Verdi

Violetta Valéry lives on borrowed time. In Paris’ hedonistic high society, she wrings each day for its joys before her illness catches up with her. When the idealistic young Alfredo offers true love, happiness seems possible – but her past has exacted a price. Giuseppe Verdi’s devastating tragedy – based on Alexander Dumas fils’ novel, in turn inspired by a real woman – has inspired countless retellings, including cult favourite films Pretty Woman and Moulin Rouge!.

With his characteristic eye for detail, Sir David McVicar (Il trittico, Falstaff, Pelléas et Mélisande) gets to the love and loss at the core of this doomed love affair in his passionate, gripping, and startlingly intimate production. Tanya McCallin’s sumptuous designs centre Violetta’s journey and enduring legacy despite her fleeting life. Verdi’s magnificent score sweeps the characters through every shifting mood – from the wildly dramatic to the most vulnerable moments.

This beloved production, which began life at Scottish Opera in 2008, has been seen at the houses of co-producers Teatro Real Madrid, Gran Teatre del Liceu, and Welsh National Opera. Now, audiences in Glasgow, Inverness, Aberdeen, and Edinburgh have a chance to experience it anew. The superb Hye-Youn Lee (Carmen 2023, The Verdi Collection 2022) brings her signature Violetta to Scotland for the first time, with Ji-Min Park as her ardent lover Alfredo.
