AVA opens its 88th opera season with Verdi’s La traviata. Plagued by sickness, Violetta finds love in Alfredo, but before long they are torn apart by betrayal. A “fallen woman”, she is forced to abandon her lover, until the truth comes out and they are reunited, if only for a moment. One of opera’s enduringly popular classics, Verdi’s La traviata has thrilled Philadelphia audiences with the tragic love story of Alfredo and Violetta for over 160 years.
