Verdi’s La traviata

In a new partnership, Verdi’s La traviata, from the world-renowned Glyndebourne Festival, comes to Liverpool Philharmonic Hall.

Verdi’s romantic and tragic music tells the heart-wrenching love story of courtesan Violetta and Alfredo, a young man from the provinces. He falls for Violetta, the stylish toast of Paris, but she’s not the marrying kind – at least not until now. However, their dreams are threatened by both a merciless society that condemns Violetta’s racy past and an equally merciless disease.

There’s rarely a dry eye in the house when this poignant tale unfolds.

Russian soprano Venera Gimadieva portrays the iconic role of Violetta, alongside American tenor Michael Fabiano as Alfredo. The visual beauty of Tom Cairns’s opulent production aptly echoes the irresistible allure of this beloved opera.

"An evening of the most glorious singing this side of heaven"
