Ellen Kent: The Farewell Tour – La Traviata

Senbla presents Ellen Kent’s Farewell Opera Tour featuring Opera International Kyiv, Ukraine, with Highly-Praised Soloists and Full Orchestra.

A tragic tale of searing passion and memorable music, La Traviata is Verdi’s outstanding interpretation of one of the most popular love stories of the 19th century, La Dame aux Camelias.

Based on a true story, it tells of the passionate loves and life of the consumptive courtesan, Violetta. There are many echoes of Verdi’s own life in Traviata and he threw himself into the music. The highlights include the Brindisi, the best known drinking song in opera, the duet Un Di Felice and Violetta’s haunting aria Addio Del Passato.

Directed by Ellen Kent.

Sung in Italian with English surtitles.

Starring international soloists; Viktoria Melnyk (soprano), Yelyzaveta Bielous (mezzo-soprano), Oleksii Srebnytsky (tenor) & Hovhannes Andreasyan (tenor).*
