Co-Opera presents La Traviata by Giuseppe Verdi
Rich in melodies which are familiar and toe tapping, La Traviata is a timeless story of a father who disapproves of his son's choice of woman for social reasons, breaks up the relationship and then regrets it when he discovers that she really is honorable and tragically dying.
Co-Opera's production, featuring a chamber orchestra, is sung in English and set in the 1950's amongst the glamour of exotic parties and the excesses of wine, love and living. This well loved opera is based on the novel La Dame Aux Camellies by Alexander Dumas. It is said that the heroine of the novel was taken from a real woman whom Dumas knew, Margaret Gautier, who was highly sophisticated and much sought after by aristocratic playboys.
La Traviata by Verdi, premiered to great applause at then Festival Centre... while the party scenes sparkle, they highlight the tragedy of a dying woman's search for love and acceptance. Ewart Shaw, The Advertiser.
