La traviata Verdi

By opening his opera with a prelude for strings with an unprecedented economy of means, Verdi affirmed in 1853 his desire to shake up conventions and norms. This is not the least of the radicalism of his work: his “Traviata” relentlessly lays bare the violence of a society that advocates material enjoyment and ends up sacrificing an innocent victim on the altar of bourgeois morality. Simon Stone likes to work hand-to-hand on the pieces of the repertoire to lead them towards more intimate territories. This director, who is one of the most noticed in the theater today, is making his highly anticipated debut at the Opéra national de Paris. La Traviata by Giuseppe Verdi, from September 12 to October 16, 2019 at the Palais Garnier. More information onhttps://www.operadeparis.fr/saison-19...


With Pretty Yende / Zuzana Marková Benjamin Bernheim / Atalla Ayan Ludovic Tézier / Jean‑François Lapointe Orchestra and Chorus of the Paris Opera Musical direction by Michele Mariotti / Carlo Montanaro Staging by Simon Stone

uiseppe Verdi's classic opera about the courtesan Violetta and Alfredo who fall in love with her. Unfortunately, it turns out that Alfredo's father has completely different plans for his son, and he forces Violetta to leave him. This year's production at Opera Paris is directed by forward-thinking Simon Stone, and this is his debut in Paris! Simon Stone has previously worked at well-known houses such as Melbourne, Sydney, Switzerland, Amsterdam and London. Stone directed Yerma from the National Theater in London, which won an Olivier Award for best new production of an established play.

In the role of Violetta we find Pretty Yende, and there are probably more who recognize her from the 18/19 season at Metropolitan Opera where she participated in, among other things, La Fille du Régiment. This will be Yende's debut as Violetta.
