the royal opera house presents
The Royal Opera House stages one of Verdi’s - and opera’s - most beloved productions, La Traviata. The timeless tale follows the tragic love story of a courtesan, Violetta, who is prepared to sacrifice everything for the man she loves, Alfredo. Torn apart by society and class, Verdi’s dramatic masterpiece has been the inspiration behind modern Hollywood classics including Pretty Woman and Moulin Rouge.
