Maria Kanyova sings "Sempre Libera" and talks about singing this great role.

Conductor Stephen Lord on La Traviata.

La Traviata featured on Good Day Oregon.

“Music and drama so intensely emotional, there won’t be a dry eye in the house.”

The beautiful courtesan thought she knew what her life was about.  

For as long as Violetta can remember, she has lived for fashion, for fame, and yes, for money.  Then—for the very first time—she finds someone who loves her.  Not for her glamour.  Not for her body.  For herself.

But when she gives up her former life and follows her heart, the past comes back to haunt her, threatening the man she so desperately loves.

For her, the edge cuts sharply in opera’s most heart-wrenching drama.

Verdi’s intense, emotional music puts La Traviata in the top ten of all-time opera favorites!

Sung in Italian with projected English translations.

Performances held at the Keller Auditorium.
