The courtesan Violetta lives and breathes the glamour of Parisian high society, but she has never known love – until she meets Alfredo. Abandoning her hedonistic existence for a new life in the country, Violetta receives a surprise visit from Alfredo’s father, who exposes the cruelty of society’s double standards – and accelerates her tragic demise.

Giuseppe Verdi’s riches-to-rags opera has it all: from the intoxicating joy of the ‘Brindisi’ party chorus, to the hushed poignancy of the final act, where hope teeters on the edge of despair. Richard Eyre’s elegant production returns, conducted by Keri-Lynn Wilson and staring Kristina Mkhitaryan as Violetta, Liparit Avetisyan as Alfredo and Christoph Pohl as Giorgio Germont.

The featured performance for the cinema screening on the 26 April is conducted by Giacomo Sagripanti, and stars Pretty Yende as Violetta, Stephen Costello as Alfredo and Vladimir Stoyanov as Giorgio Germont.
