'La Traviata'

Spectacular outdoors production of this famous operatic work recorded in the bay of Sydney. The musical direction is provided by Brian Castles-Onion and stage director is Francesca Zambello. It lasts two hours and 25 minutes.

Opera in three acts by Giuseppe Verdi (Italy, 1813-1901), La Traviata  is based on the stage adaptation of the novel La Dame aux Camelias, signed by Alexandre Dumas (son). It is an unusual piece in the production of Verdi for its realistic character. It is an intimate drama in which the actors, when it premiered, first wore contemporary costumes and not historical, as was customary.
