La Traviata

Encore Presentation  from Teatro Antico, Taormina, Italy (July 10, 2012)

Verdi's La Traviata shines in this spectacular production from Opera Australia, performed on a floating stage in teh Sydney Harbor under the stars.  The famous Sydney Opera House is the backdrop in this dramatic new staging, which features a nearly 30-foot chandelier suspended over the stage.  Opera Insider raves:  "This mega-production deserves only three words - Fantastic!  Fantastic!  Fantastic!"  Visionary director Francescsa Zambello directs, with an "electrifying" Emma Matthews as Violetta, with Jonathan Summers and Gianluca Teranova rounding out the cast.
