The heart wants what it wants… but what does it really want? La traviata
Violetta Valéry has enjoyed a life of beauty and decadence, complete with everything she could ever want — that is, until she meets Alfredo, whose idealistic romanticism wins her over. But as Violetta contemplates what remains of her life, she must make the ultimate choice: accept love’s tender embrace, or remain free forever.
This beloved Lyric Opera of Chicago production sets Verdi’s sumptuous music against the florid glamour of 19th-century France, bringing these captivating characters and their tragic tale to life.
Prepare to be moved by this masterwork of melody and melancholy conducted by Enrique Mazzola, whether you’ve heard it a hundred times or never before.
