Stacey Alleaume leads WNO's emotionally-charged Traviata
Leading an international cast in a still-sumptuous revival in Southampton's Mayflower, Stacey Alleaume gives a sovereign performance as the ill-fated courtesan Violetta.
McVicar's Traviata is still darkly impressive
Even given a routine revival, McVicar's staging has much to recommend it, returning the opera to its literary roots.
