Giuseppe Verdi’s “La Traviata” has stood the test of time and continues to be one of the most beloved and performed operas to this day. With a tragic love story between Violetta and Alfredo and some of the most recognizable melodies of the genre, Anchorage Opera’s production promises to be an excellent introduction to opera and a unique take on an old favorite.
We’re joined by Anchorage Opera’s Principal Conductor, Brian DeMaris, and Stage Director, Laura Alley, to find out what makes this production special, hear about opening night rituals and more.
