Giuseppe Verdi completed the opera Il Trovatore and La Traviata in succession, and Gozo’s Aurora Theatre has also made the same decision, which is to stage these two masterpieces in the same sequence.
Therefore following the 2014 successful production of Il Trovatore, the Aurora has announced that its production for this year will be La Traviata, to be staged on the 17th of October.
With a plot that takes the audience to the heart of 1700’s Paris, La Traviata has always been considered as the ultimate operatic fashion-parade of music, drama, scenery and costumes. These helped the opera maintain its ratings and secure performance records to this day and age.
La Traviata returns for a third time, after seventeen years. It was last performed at the Aurora in 1998 and 20 years before that in 1978.
Tickets for La Traviata may be purchased from the 15th of January onwards, online via www.teatruaurora.com [1] or by email to info@leone.org.mt [2].
