La Traviata di Verdi al cinema dal Metropolitan di New York
Giuseppe Verdi's La Traviata is being screened in cinemas via the Metropolitan Opera's 2016/2017 season, featuring Bulgarian soprano Sonya Yoncheva as Violetta and conducted by San Francisco Opera music director Nicola Luisotti. The production also stars tenor Michael Fabiano as Alfredo and baritone Thomas Hampson as Germont. The opera, based on Alexandre Dumas fils' La Dame aux Camélias, is concurrently running at Milan's Teatro alla Scala until March 14. La Traviata premiered at Teatro La Fenice in Venice on March 6, 1853, to poor reception; a revised version succeeded at Teatro San Benedetto in 1854.
