the royal opera house presents
The Royal Opera House stages one of Verdi’s - and opera’s - most beloved productions, La Traviata. The timeless tale follows the tragic love story of a courtesan, Violetta, who is prepared to sacrifice everything for the man she loves, Alfredo. Torn apart by society and class, Verdi’s dramatic masterpiece has been the inspiration behind modern Hollywood classics including Pretty Woman and Moulin Rouge.
“Soprano Ermonela Jaho delivers a career-defining performance as Violetta Valery, celebrated for her raw emotional vulnerability and vocal precision, every aria infused with an intimate, heartbreaking intensity. Sir Richard Eyre's iconic staging has held its place in the Royal Opera repertoire for decades, balancing the opulent grandeur of Parisian high society with the devastating domestic tragedy at the opera's core.”
