Opera in Williamsburg presents Verdi's La Traviata

Verdi's La Traviata will be sung in Italian with English supertitles. Conductor will be Maestro Jorge Parodi, Opera in Williamsburg's music director. The production will be sung by a world-class cast and accompanied by a full orchestra.

Verdi’s La Traviata is the most popular opera in the world, in any language.  It tells the story of a high-society woman who leaves her freewheeling lifestyle to dedicate herself to her one love – only to be persuaded by his father to part from her beloved for his own good.  The two eventually reunite with the father’s blessing, but too late to save Violetta from dying in her lover’s arms.   The music is heartbreakingly beautiful and brings the story to life.
