About
A beloved mainstay of the repertory, Verdi’s great tragedy stirs the soul and breaks the heart like only opera can. A trio of captivating artists—Lisette Oropesa, Rosa Feola, and Ermonela Jaho—alternate in the touchstone soprano role of Violetta Valéry, the ill-fated Parisian courtesan fighting for love before her time runs out. Tony Award–winning director Michael Mayer conjures a dreamy setting that matches the poetry and passion of the unforgettable score.
