La traviata tells the moving story of the beautiful but fragile courtesan Violetta who is coerced into sacrificing her one hope of personal happiness for the sake of her lover’s reputation. Verdi’s masterpiece combines compelling characters with hugely powerful and instantly recognisable melodies. This celebrated production cuts to the very heart of the opera’s themes of passionate love and tragic death with a modern staging, and a running time of less than two hours.

Sadly Over-hyped
Better Late Then Never
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.
