Rockdale Opera Company is excited to present Giuseppe Verdi's beautiful and timeless classic, La Traviata. It follows the story of Violetta, a high-class courtesan and her ardent but doomed love affair with Alfredo, the young and wealthy son from an influential family. 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.
