San Diego Opera Presents La Traviata
The Roaring Twenties brought us novel inventions, a racy new culture and dramatic social change, and for Violetta Valery, illness, judgment, and sacrifice. This party girl lives life on her own terms, gives into pleasure for money and keeps her heart safe, until she meets a man who changes her life. Choosing love over freedom, Violetta cannot resist these feelings and the couple begin their life together, until an unwelcome visitor threatens their future. Will Violetta bend to the will of another or surrender to her heart? And can she do it in time? Directed by Marta Domingo, La Traviata transports to the past to a love story with poignant themes that transcend the ages. Starring Corrine Winters as Violetta, Joshua Guerrero as Alfredo, and Stephen Powell as Germont.
