Performance La Traviata VERDI                                

Event Passed

Love, intensity, heartache

Violetta is the ultimate party girl, a courtesan who can charm her way into the life of anyone she chooses.

Then she meets Alfredo and the rules of the game change. They fall madly in love but the society around them has other ideas.

La Traviata has held audiences in wonder since its premiere, offering a glimpse into a world of opulence, wild parties, and forbidden love, all to the sublime music of one of the greatest opera composers of them all, Giuseppe Verdi.

Dane Lam leads the Queensland Symphony Orchestra and an ensemble of some of Australia’s most exciting singers, including Kang Wang, José Carbó and Lorina Gore as Violetta, in this thrilling new production by Sarah Giles.
