The Metropolitan Opera: La Traviata
Synopsis
Any new Met production of Verdiâs beloved tragedy La Traviata would be noteworthy, but Michael Mayerâs dazzling staging, which premiered during the 2018â19 season, was doubly significant as it marked Yannick NĂ©zet-SĂ©guinâs first performances as the Metâs Jeanette Lerman-Neubauer Music Director. On the podium for this Live in HD transmission, NĂ©zet-SĂ©guin leads a starry ensemble. As Violetta, the consumptive heroine fighting to find true happiness, soprano Diana Damrau delivers yet another compelling portrayal on the Met stage. Tenor Juan Diego FlĂłrez sings his first Verdi role with the company, as Violettaâs ardent yet impetuous lover, Alfredo, and baritone Quinn Kelsey rounds out the principal cast as Giorgio Germont, Alfredoâs implacable father.
