Verdi’s musical masterpiece is based on Alexandre Dumas’ novel and play, La Dame aux Camélias. It tells the bittersweet story of the doomed love affair between Violetta Valéry, a famed Parisian courtesan, and Alfredo Germont, the eldest son of a wealthy merchant family. This touching and romantic tale is filled with some of the most popular and familiar music in the entire operatic repertoire.
2013 is the 200th anniversary of Verdi’s birth. This beloved opera is presented in concert in honour of this occasion. The role of Violetta is a tour-de-force for a soprano and the opera is full of familiar tunes and rousing choruses.
