This new production marks the Arena debut of International Opera Award-nominated Scottish director Paul Curran, who brings La traviata's action forward to the Paris of the Belle Époque, with sets by Juan Guillermo Nova and costumes by Stefano Ciammitti. The production runs eleven performances with rotating casts conducted by Michele Spotti through August 22 and Francesco Ivan Ciampa from August 29. Key cast members include soprano Martina Russomanno in the title role, tenor Yusif Eyvazov as Alfredo, and baritone Mihai Damian in his house debut as Germont.
