Performer: Lorenzo Mazzucchelli

Andreas Homoki’s staging at the Teatro di San Carlo, setting aside a few inconsistencies with the libretto, does not indulge in redundant symbolism. 

Huge de Ana's staging is carefully crafted but feels dramaturgically outdated as the Teatro di San Carlo heads into the twilight of sovrintendente Stéphane Lissner’s final season. 

Latvian soprano Marina Rebeka sings Violetta in Lorenzo Amato's traditional – but damp – staging.
