OPERA
La Traviata
"perfectly pitched staging with Verzier and Federici breathtaking"
"Attridge, Hickox and the company prove that attention to musical and dramatic detail is worth more than confected attitude."
With its well-known tunes and a glimpse into the dazzling world of high society, La traviata is the perfect opera to introduce friends and family to Glyndebourne. In this stylish and sophisticated staging, director Tom Cairns and designer Hildegarde Bechtler emphasise the timeless nature of the story. Here, nineteenth-century glamour and excess meet contemporary minimalist chic in a production bursting with movement and energy.
A favourite with audiences and critics since it premiered in 2014, The Independent found the production ‘profoundly moving’, while The Observer declared it ‘impeccable’, with both rating it five stars.
