Giuseppe Verdi's La Traviata
"The audience loved it. The singing shimmers... The sets are luxurious appointed and lighted, and the fashions are flashy and often gorgeous."
This revival of an original LA Opera Art Deco-inspired staging by Marta Domingo closed the 2018/19 season. The production was conducted by James Conlon, starring soprano Adela Zaharia as Violetta. The cast also included tenors Rame Lahaj and Charles Castronovo, who split the run of Alfredo Germont, and baritones Vitaliy Bilyy and Igor Golovatenko who shared the role of Giorgio Germont.
