Opéra de Montréal presents

La Traviata

In Italian with English and French surtitles

How far would you go, in the name of love? La Traviata, one of Verdi’s – and of the entire repertoire’s – most popular operas, introduces us to a kind of love both unbridled and doomed. Set in Paris in the 1920s, the incredible story of the courtesan Violetta is reimagined through a jazz-age entertainer who has taken the city by storm. Proving that we are never bound to a single path, nor to a single journey.

SELF-LOVE WILL NEVER BREAK YOUR HEART.

Courtesan Violetta lives her life in a self-indulgent, proud, almost arrogant way. Until the very day when her eyes and her heart are cast on the young Alfredo, who comes from a prominent family. Ready to give up everything to fulfill their passionate romance, one they both believe they deserve, the couple challenges the beliefs and standards of their time.
