La Traviata
In a rushing sea of champagne, dance, and elegance, Violetta Valéry revels in the vibrant life of Parisian society. Yet behind the glittering façade lies a woman whose heart longs for more than glamour and pleasure. When the young Alfredo Germont enters her world, a different life seems within reach – one built on love and sincerity. But in a society where money and reputation reign supreme, there is little room for true feelings.
With La traviata, Giuseppe Verdi created an opera of poignant beauty – with moving arias, compelling choral scenes, and an orchestral sound that makes the longing and drama of this tragic love story palpable in every note. The musical direction will be led by Kirill Karabits and Pietro Rizzo, both making their debut at the Bregenzer Festspiele. Italian director Damiano Michieletto sets the production in the glamorous world of the Roaring Twenties. Against a backdrop of vivid jazz clubs and decadent evening soirées, between the lust for life and fragility, Violetta must make a decision that will seal her fate forever.
