Date limit for application : January 8, 2025

La Traviata (Giuseppe Verdi)

An anthem to impossible love: what is the story of “La Traviata”?

The opera, set to music by Verdi and adapted by Francesco Maria Piave from Alexandre Dumas fils’ novel “La Dame aux camélias,” is divided into three acts and tells the story of love in its various aspects—happy encounters, the pleasure of bodies and minds, the struggle against convention, social condemnation, the pain of separation, and ultimately, death. So what is the story of “La Traviata”, this tragic love story?

These are the themes that the trainees selected during the audition will work on.
