Co-Opera and Country Arts SA present a season of South Australian performances of La Traviata by Guiseppe Verdi

Rich in melodies which are familiar and toe tapping, La Travaiata is a timeless story of of a father who disapproves of his son's choice of a woman for social reasons, breaks up the relationship and then regrets it when he discovers that she really is honourable and tragically dying.
Co-Opera's production, featuring a chamber orchestra, is sung in English and set in the 1950's amongst the glamopur of exotic parties and the excesses of wine, love and living. This well loved opera is based on the novel La Dame Aux Camellies by Alexander Dumas. It is said that the heroine of the novel was based upon a real woman whom Dumas knew, Margareite Gautier, who was highly sophisticated and much sought after by aristocratic playboys.

La Traviata by Verdi, premièred to great applause at the Festival Centre… while the party scenes sparkle, they highlight the tragedy of a dying woman's search for love and acceptance.
