La Traviata

La Traviata
April 25,28,30,2009
Edmonton Opera 2008/2009 Season

Join us for one of the most beloved operas of all time and experience the joy, the passion, and the sorrow of a doomed love. Alberta-born soprano Laura Whalen (last seen as Filumena) takes on the tragic role of Violetta, the courtesan who loses everything in her love for Alfredo (Québecois star Marc Hervieux). Edmonton Opera is delighted to welcome back Edmonton favourite Theodore Baerg in the role of Germont, in a production staged by our former Artistic Director, Michael Cavanagh. Steven Osgood, who last joined us for Bluebeard's Castle/ Erwartung, takes up the baton in this, our final offering of the season.

Whether you know the music by heart or are enjoying Traviata for the first time, this production's intensity will leave you longing for more.
