Opera Vermont at the barre opera house Present
La traviata
Verdi’s
With the new england repertory orchestra
May 23 & 24, 2025
“Sempre libera”
The courtesan, Violetta valery, has vowed to remain "always free" and unencumbered by the trappings of love... but will fate and honor allow her to succeed in her goal?
La traviata tells the tragic story of the love between the courtesan Violetta and the romantic Alfredo Germont. Played out against the hypocrisy of upper-class fashionable society, Alfredo and Violetta’s love threatens to shame his family. When his father directly appeals to Violetta to relinquish her one chance of happiness, Violetta submits, and her act of self-sacrifice leads to her paying the ultimate price.
One of the most well-loved operas in the world, La Traviata will be presented at the Barre Opera House, marking a return of opera to the Barre Opera House in over a decade. Opera Vermont is looking for local singers who would be interested in being a part of the community chorus, to bring Verdi’s passionately beautiful music to life!
