Opera returns to the Curzon with a
production of Verdi's classic from Teatro La Scala.
Angela Gheorghiu, praised by Bloomberg for having
"mastered the role" and "acting her
socks off," leads an all-star cast.
Courtesan Violetta Valery meets
a new admirer, Alfredo Germont, who confesses his
love; but trouble brews when Alfredo's father demands
that she renounce his son to avoid scandal.
This 2007 production at La Scala of one Verdi’s most
celebrated works sees Angela Gheorghiu in her acclaimed debut
as Violetta, leading an all-star cast which includes Ramón
Vargas and Roberto Frontali. Courtesan Violetta Valery meets
a new admirer, Alfredo Germont, but Alfredo’s father
demands that she renounce his son to avoid scandal. Back in
Paris, Alfredo denounces his former love cruelly, but learns
she is deathly ill with tuberculosis. Alfredo becomes contrite
as he learns the truth, but it may already be too late to
ask her forgiveness.
This production of Mozart’s opera
from German director Claus Guth premiered at the 2009
Salzburg Festival.
Torn between love and passion, fidelity and betrayal, Fiordiligi

Lehtipun) and Gugielmo (Florian Boesch) abandon themselves
to the emotional chaos. Don Alfonso (Bo Skovhus) and Despina
(Patricia Petibon) pull the strings in this dangerous game.
