A beloved mainstay of the repertory, Verdi’s great tragedy stirs the soul and breaks the heart like only opera can. The captivating Lisette Oropesa performs the touchstone soprano role of Violetta Valéry, the ill-fated Parisian courtesan fighting for love before her time runs out. Tony Award-winning director Michael Mayer conjures a dreamy setting that matches the poetry and passion of the unforgettable score. Antonello Manacorda conducts the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra and Chorus.
