La Traviata

Lyric Opera Productions presents Verdi’s masterpiece La Traviata, featuring some of the most beautiful and melodic music in the opera repertoire. With a career that started with Lyric Opera, this dazzling young Irish international soprano, Claudia Boyle returns to Lyric Opera to re-create the extraordinary and demanding role of Violetta in her home city. Internationally acclaimed English tenor Alexander James Edwards makes a welcome return to Lyric Opera in the role of Alfredo and one of English National Opera’s favorite baritones, Charles Johnson sings the role of Germont Père.

Sung in Italian with English supertitles. Bookings through www.nch.ie or Box Office 01 417 0000.

Based on Alexandre Dumas’ fils “La Dame aux Camelias“, Verdi creates his own Marguerite Gautier in the role of Violetta’s Valery. We witness the unbearable pain of a woman who sacrifices her life and her love and the tragic consequences which ultimately led her to her death.

It is perhaps the best loved of all Italian opera and it features some of the most beautiful and melodic music composed by Verdi: the famous “Libiamo“, the stunning display of coloratura in Violetta’s “Sempre Libera“, the haunting strains of “Ah, ditte alla giovane!” and the beautiful “Di Provenza mar il suoi” into the final act with “Addio, del passato“.
