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.
