Royal Opera House op Mar gepubliceerd 23, 2015
Renée Fleming as Violetta Valéry sings Sempre Libera (Altijd gratis) from Verdi’s opera La traviata. Violeta debatten of ze houdt van Alfredo (Joseph Calleja) – hier gehoord standhoudt – maar concludeert zij behoeften om vrij te zijn.

‘A toast to the pleasures of life!’ – so sings Violetta, her new admirer Alfredo and her party guests in the opening scene of Giuseppe Verdi’s La traviata. But beneath the surface glamour of Violetta’s Parisian life run darker undercurrents: her doomed love for Alfredo and the tensions the lovers encounter when they break society’s conventions. La traviata, based on Alexandre Dumas fils’s play La Dame aux camélias, is one of Verdi’s most popular operas, combinatie van drama, diepe emotie en prachtige melodieën.
