La Traviata

La Traviata is an opera from Italy’s La Scala opera house presented in premiere digital cinema.

In this love story-opera based on Alexandre Dumas’s Lady of the Camelias, courtesan Violetta Valery meets a new admirer, Alfredo Germont, who confesses his love. Trouble brews when Alfredo’s father demands that she renounce his son since the scandal of Alfredo’s affair with her has threatened his own daughter’s engagement. Violetta resists but eventually agrees. Back in Paris, Alfredo denounces his former love cruelly, and months later, Violetta, deathly ill with tuberculosis, has only days to live. Alfredo becomes contrite as he learns the truth, but it may already be too late to ask her forgiveness.
