Verdi鈥檚 La Traviata

Verdi鈥檚 La Traviata from the New York Metropolitan Opera, starring Angel Blue as Violetta and Dmytro Popov as Alfredo, and conducted by Nicola Luisotti.

From the Met in New York: Verdi's La Traviata.

Angel Blue sings the title role of the 'fallen woman', the tragic courtesan Violetta, who falls in love with Alfredo, sung by tenor Dmytro Popov. Baritone Artur Ruci艅ski is Germont, Alfredo's father, who condemns Violetta's racy past and persuades her to leave Alfredo, unaware of the ultimate tragic sacrifice she will make for Alfredo.

The score contains some of Verdi's most intimate and heartfelt music, conducted tonight by Nicola Luisotti.

Presented by Deborah Lew Harder with commentator Ira Siff.
