events for 04/05/2008

La Traviata - 07:30PM 04/05/2008
location - De Montfort Hall, Leicester
The love story that gripped Paris. A tragic tale of searing passion and memorable music, La Traviata is Verdi's outstanding interpretation of one of the most popular love stories of the nineteenth century, La Dame aux Camelias. Based on a true story, it tells of the passionate consumptive Violetta. There are many echoes of Verdi's own life in Traviata and he threw himself into the music. The highlights include the Brindisi, the best known drinking song in opera, the duet Un Di Felice and the haunting tenor aria Addio Del Passato.
