Sacramento Opera: LA TRAVIATA
Date: 02/26/10 8 p.m. Description: Conductor, Timm Rolek with the Sacramento Philharmonic Orchestra. Based on the novel and play "La Dame aux Camélias" by Alexandre Dumas, Jr., Giuseppe Verdi's "La Traviata" is one of the ten most popular operas in the repertoire. This vivid "slice of life" is loosely based on actual events that took place between Alexandre Dumas, Jr. and his lover Marie Duplessis. The story revolves around the relationship between the stunningly beautiful but frail courtesan Violetta Valéry and her lover, the well-born Alfredo Germont. Alfredo's father Giorgio's efforts thwart their relationship and serve as a catalyst for the opera's heart-wrenching climax. The story was later immortalized in the classic movie "Camille" starring Greta Garbo and given a popular update in "Pretty Woman" starring Julia Roberts. ***Sung in Italian with English supertitles.
