La Traviata – one of Verdi’s greatest Opera
Music by G. Verdi. Sung in Italian with English Surtitles
‘A boon to the opera in regional theatres.’ The Stage
Featuring an impressive cast accompanied by a live orchestra with over thirty musicians.
After last year’s successful season of Madama Butterfly and Tosca, Russian State Opera returns with La Traviata in another world-class production guaranteed to delight you with sumptuous sets and splendid new costumes.
La Traviata – a tragic love story epitomised by sacrifice of a woman condemned by misunderstanding.
This haunting tragedy, with its beautiful arias and unforgettable chorus pieces, will transport you into the exclusive demi-monde of French aristocracy in the 1850s.
Giuseppe Verdi brings the beguiling splendour and gaiety of mid-19th century Parisian life to the stage. But beyond the revelry and hedonism lurks heartbreak and pathos in this tragic and resonant morality tale in which Violetta, a high-society courtesan with a heart of gold, sacrifices everything for the man she loves.
La Traviata, Verdi’s undisputed masterpiece, contains some of his most beautiful and memorable music. The score encompasses an astonishing range of moods and emotions, from Alfredo’s aristocratic charms to Violetta’s vivid sparkle, perfectly captured in Libiamo ne' lieti calici – (Drink from the joyful cup) in which they toast life and free will.
A deeply moving opera overflowing with emotion and containing moments of pure genius, La Traviata is an unforgettable, powerful experience.

The Russian State Opera
Presents
Carmen – the most powerful, enjoyable and tuneful opera.
Music by Georges Bizet. Sung in French with English Surtitles
Featuring an impressive cast and accompanied by a live Orchestra numbering over 30 musicians
After its successful season last year, Russian State Opera returns to delight you with the powerful and dramatic production of Carmen - feel the thrill of fiery passion, jealousy and violence of 19th century Seville Bizet’s most popular opera.
Carmen tells the story of the downfall of Don José, a naïve soldier who falls head over heels in love with Carmen, a seductive, free-spirited femme fatale. The infatuated Don José abandons his childhood sweetheart and neglects his military duties, only to lose the fickle Carmen to the glamorous toreador Escamillo.
The rich and colourful vigour of the gypsies’ scenes will have you on the edge of your seat, the vibrancy, enthusiasm and intensity of the performances will reverberate long after the final curtain has fallen
