Tri-Cities Opera to Close Season with Verdi’s LA TRAVIATA

Tri-Cities Opera brings its 2025–2026 season to a close with Giuseppe Verdi’s La Traviata, presented for one performance only on Saturday, April 18, 2026, at 3 p.m. at the Broome County Forum Theatre. 

La Traviata follows Violetta, a celebrated Parisian courtesan who dares to abandon her  glittering world for true love with the devoted Alfredo. Their newfound happiness is threatened  when Alfredo’s father intervenes, urging Violetta to sacrifice everything to preserve his family’s  honor. As truths remain hidden and emotions unravel, the story drives toward an intensely  emotional and unforgettable conclusion about the cost of love and the weight of sacrifice. 

La Traviata’s beautiful sweeping melodies are woven into a heartbreaking love story that  explores themes of sacrifice and redemption while offering searing commentary on societal  norms. The opera is the source material for famous films such as Camille, Moulin Rouge!, and  Pretty Woman. 

Staged in the grand and glorious style of the Gilded Age and accompanied by the 42-piece Tri Cities Opera Orchestra, this production features Victoria Cannizzo as Violetta Valéry, Sergio  Mandujano as Alfredo Germont, and Timothy Lefebvre as Giorgio Germont, alongside Marc  Webster as Doctor Grenvil, Gregory Sheppard as Baron Douphol, and a supporting cast of the  Tri-Cities Opera Resident Artists. 

Conducted by Music Director Giovanni Reggioli and directed by Artistic Director Patrick Hansen,  the production showcases Tri-Cities Opera’s commitment to musical excellence and compelling  storytelling. 

Performed in Italian with English supertitles, La Traviata runs approximately 2 hours and 30  minutes and includes one intermission.
