The COC’s revival of Verdi’s La traviata features fine singing, especially from Kathryn Lewek’s Violetta, but has perhaps lost a little of the edge of previous runs.

A singers' Traviata at the Lyric Opera in Chicago

By Dan Wang, 20 November 2013

The new Traviata at the Lyric Opera is both hyper-traditional and, in moments, saucily modern. In broad strokes, it looks like many another Traviata that has come before, though a twinge of visual ambition goes past such clichés.
