City Lyric Opera Presents Verdi’s La Traviata

Celebrating its first opera staged at a proscenium theater in its seven-year history, City Lyric Opera (CLO) presents one of the world’s most beloved operas, Giuseppe Verdi’s La Traviata (The Fallen Woman), which has captivated audiences for more than 150 years with its beautiful melodies, dazzling party scenes, and heart-wrenching tragedy. A woman-founded and run opera company, CLO seeks to highlight under-represented voices and perspectives within both contemporary and canonical repertoire.

Set against a backdrop of the hypocritical underbelly of upper-class Parisian society, La Traviata chronicles the ill-fated love story of the courtesan Violetta and the bourgeois Alfredo Germont. This fully-staged production centers Violetta’s personal struggle during her last year on earth, offering an examination of the patriarchal system that treats her not only as morally “fallen,” but also as disposable. CLO’s fully-staged production takes strong imagery from the play and novel upon which the opera was based, La Dame aux Camélias.
