Event Description
A revolutionary cinematic opera experience that will move you to tears.
Forget everything you think you know about filmed opera. Opera Glassworks has created a breath-taking cinematic masterpiece that transforms Verdi’s beloved La Traviata into an intimate film experience that moved Hollywood legend Sigourney Weaver to tears at its New York premiere.
This isn’t a recording of a stage performance – it’s pure cinema. Shot completely with the camera in mind, the fourth wall disappears as you’re drawn into Violetta’s world through a dilapidated Hampshire country house. You’re not watching from an opera house seat – you’re in the room, experiencing every heartbreak up close.
Portuguese soprano Susana Gaspar delivers a tour de force performance as the tragic Violette, while the British tenor Thomas Elwin and baritone Roderick Williams complete a stellar cast.
