La Traviata by Guiseppe Verdi, from Oper Graz, 2011. Directed by Myriam Hoyer, conductor Tecwyn Evans. Starring Chor des Opernhauses Graz, Marlis Petersen (Violetta Valery), Giuseppe Varano (Alfredo Germont), James Rutherford (Giorgio Germont). Performed in Italian.

Director Peter Konwitschny achieved resounding success and Marlis Petersen a sensational debut in the title role with this production of La Traviata at the Graz Opera - a highly-focused, intelligent reading of the music that was widely acclaimed by audiences.

A staging which makes do without opulent stage sets - not that you will notice that anything is missing. Marlis Petersen excels in the duet with Giuseppe Varano. In Konwitschny's version, her death is not followed by an ascent to heaven.
