Giuseppe Verdi´s La Traviata is one of the most famous operas

Italian original version with Czech and English surtitles 

Giuseppe Verdi’s
La Traviata is based on Alexandre Dumas’s novel La Dame aux camelias, about the famous courtesan and idol of Parisian society in the 1840s. It is in fact the very first significant opera to a contemporary social theme. La Traviata is currently one of the most popular Prague Opera titles and has been performed to great acclaim abroad too (including Japan, 2007).

In Prague (in the opera house, today´s State Opera), the opera has been staged since the very beginning of its existence, when it took over the production from the German Estates Theatre. The opera primarily afforded the opportunity to host celebrated foreign singers, including the legendary Australian soprano Nellie Melby (18 April 1900).

The most recent production was undertaken in 2006 by a foreign team headed by the French stage director Arnaud Bernard, with the music being explored by the Italian conductor Enrico Dovico.

Our experience:

We saw the opera in October 2022 and we were thrilled. Perfect performance of Peter Berger and Jana Sibera as Alfredo and Violetta (note there are alternations). Couldn´t fault it. The orchestra was superb as well as the stage setting (very simple which allowed us to fully concentrate on the performances). Standing ovation in the end was well deserved.
