La Traviata on Sydney Harbour - in Cinemas

Beautiful music. Breathtaking spectacle. La Traviata under the stars. Opera Australia presents La Traviata on a shimmering stage, afloat on Sydney Harbour. Fireworks, a harbour stage and a giant chandelier that transformed opera in Sydney like never before. Extravagant and devastatingly romantic, La Traviata is perfect for first-time opera-goers and is available for UK audiences in their local cinemas on Tuesday 31st July.

Fallen woman, courtesan, escort, high class call-girl – call her what you will, Violetta Valéry is one of those women who fathers warn their sons about. When the opera opens she is hosting a lavish party for her many admirers. One of them, Alfredo Germont, manages to catch her alone and confesses his love to her. She has heard such declarations many times before, but this young man intrigues her. But can their two very different lives be reconciled or is too much standing in the way of their love?
