Lille Opera
LA TRAVIATA
Giuseppe VerdiIntroduction
La Traviata is generally considered to be a turning point in Verdi’s operatic career because its score suggests a conversion to realism and intimism. Under the baton of Jean-Claude Casadesus, the orchestre national de lille and a cast featuring a new generation of international singers are sure to
create the perfect balance between the work’s drama and its music. Irina Brook’s direction will reveal the existential journey of the heroine Violetta, beginning as she blossoms into a woman and ending with her moral and physical decay.
