Kiran Rajasingam joins the Opera Australia Chorus for Verdi’s La Traviata.
From the vivacious chorus of the famous ‘Brindisi’ to Violetta’s soaring ‘Sempre libera’ and the breathless notes at the opera’s tragic end, Verdi’s music for La Traviata is a thrilling, emotional experience.
This “triumphant” (Sydney Morning Herald) new staging is making its Melbourne debut. Director Sarah Giles brings Violetta’s inner world centre stage in an acclaimed, glittering staging that shows the heartache behind the glamour.
Stacey Alleaume and Maria Laura Iacobellis offer their distinctive interpretations of Violetta. Rising star Filipe Manu makes his role debut as Alfredo, joining them under conductor Giampaolo Bisanti, who brings his renowned italianate style to Australia for the first time.
