La Traviata

Description

«La Traviata was a big flop (…). But what do you want? I’m not worried. Or I’m in the wrong or they are. I believe that the last word on Traviata is not yesterday night’s one. I’m sure they will change their minds!».
Giuseppe Verdi couldn’t be more prophetic: despite the clamorous failure of the first representation at the La Fenice theatre of Venice on the 6th of March 1853, La Traviata, the last title of the so-called popular Verdi’s trilogy, became one of the most loved and represented plays by the “Busseto’s swan”.
The Ponchielli Theatre will be the leader theatre of this new staging for OperaLombardia. The conduction will be held by the young and applauded Enrico Lombardi, while the direction will be by Luca Baracchini who, with his young creative team, won the Under 35 prize for the directive project of La Traviata for the OperaLombardia Circuit 2022/23.
