Rockdale Opera Company is excited to present Giuseppe Verdi's beautiful and timeless classic, La Traviata. Debuting in Venice in 1853, the opera is based on La Dame aux Camelias by Alexandre Dumas (fils) It follows the story of Violetta, a high-class courtesan in 19th century Paris and her ardent but doomed love affair with Alfredo, a young nobleman. From the infectious drinking song "Brindisi" and the joyous hedonism of Act I, to Violetta's heartbreak in Act II and the inevitable tragic ending, La Traviata continues to be one of the world's most-performed operas, for good reason - passionate and emotional music, glittering and glamorous settings and a story that tugs at the heart.
