Based on a true-life experience of novelist Alexandre Dumas himself, this “affair to remember” kind of opera depicts Violetta Valery, a beautiful Parisian courtesan, unexpectedly finding love with a middle-class young man, Alfredo Germont.
Their affair is the scandal of Paris, and all too soon society and a fatal disease conspire against the lovers. Surrender yourself to
an evening of sumptuous music, pageantry, and romance.
