San Francisco Opera - La Traviata
The most performed opera in the world
Why see San Francisco Opera - La Traviata?
Verdi's Tragic Masterpiece
Verdi's towering La Traviata returns to the San Francisco Opera. A tragic love story that explores the suffocating constraints of polite society, the story is centered on the beautiful courtesan Violetta Valery, who sacrifices her reputation and wealth when she decides to move from Paris to the countryside with her lover Alfredo.
First performed in 1853, La Traviata can be said to be Verdi's most intimate work, drawing on social issues that were contemporary to him at the time, and is now the most performed opera in the world. This San Francisco staging is conducted by Eun Sun Kim, and boasts three singers making their company debut, including soprano Pretty Yende as Violetta Valery.
