Featuring a talented international cast, including Beren Kader Fidan and Tylor Lamani, this production offers a new perspective on Verdi’s iconic opera. With its stripped-back staging, physical theatre, and the intimate accompaniment of the Barefoot Band, La Traviata is sure to resonate with both opera lovers and first-time goers.

Verdi’s music will take you on a journey as you follow the tragic love story of Violetta, a glamorous courtesan who finds herself caught in a whirlwind romance with the young poet Alfredo. This production delves into themes of envy, hypocrisy, and toxic masculinity, making it as relevant today as ever.
