La traviata – The fallen woman. Opera of the 19th century adored corrupted females just as much as the literature of the time, and this is how Marguerite Gautier – like Emma Bovary, Manon Lescaut and Mimì and Musette – appeared on the opera stage, becoming one of the most famous of Verdi’s heroines under the name of Violetta Valéry.
Someone once asked the maestro which of his operas was his favourite. Verdi answered: “It depends. Speaking as a professional, Rigoletto, but as an amateur: Traviata.”
We will be staging a pre-premiere of the work in the summer of 2016 on Margaret Island Open-air Stage, in a production directed by Ferenc Anger, with Erika Miklósa in the principal role.
The performance on the Margaret Island Open-Air Stage is presented with Hungarian surtitles only.
