The Aurora Opera House has announced that world-class soprano Elena Mosuc will be leading the cast of the 2015 production of La Traviata in the role of Violetta. She will toast the most famous Brindisi of all with Stefan Pop, who is to feature in the role of Alfredo, while household name Marzio Giossi returns to the Aurora as Giorgio Germont.
With Mosuc fresh from resounding La Traviata successes at the Teatro alla Scala (Milan), the Bavarian State Opera, the Verona Arena and the Gran Teatre del Liceu in Barcelona, she is due to appear again as Violetta Valery in Berlin in 2016, right after her Malta debut.
The Aurora said that all great opera houses, theatre masters and orchestra directors feature prominently on her curriculum, as they do on Romanian-born tenor’s Stefan Pop’s track record. Despite his young age, Pop has already appeared at Royal Opera House Covent Garden, La Scala (Milan), the Wiener Staatsoper and other keynote houses in Germany, Tel Aviv, Zurich, Italy, Moscow and St Petersburg. Winner of several competitions, Stefan Pop has recently appeared in concert with Angela Gheorghiu in Oman.
Meanwhile, the Aurora Opera House has advised that, in view of the extraordinarily high demand for tickets, a number of seats in the Upper Tiers have just been released for public sale, as the single performance is fast heading towards a complete sell-out.
Tickets may be instantly purchased online here or booked by telephone via the ticket helpline 79045779 any time of the day.
La Traviata, an opera in 3 acts by Giuseppe Verdi, famous for its Brindisi (Drinking Song) amongst other arias, will be held at the Aurora Theatre, on Saturday, the 17th of October at 7.30pm.
Colin Attard leads an international cast, supported by the Aurora Opera Chorus and the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra. Ferry and shuttle transport arrangements will be announced in due course.
