Verdi’s La Traviata – May 4-14, 2024 LiveEvents April 26, 2024 581 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. PreOpera For all ticket holders: a free pre-concert presentation with Michel Marc Bouchard (librettist) will take place one hour before each performance at the Piano Nobile in Place des Arts.
