NEW PRODUCTION
With La Traviata performed in the context of the Modena for Luciano events and the Modena City of Belcanto program, the project continues to present the operas interpreted by Luciano Pavarotti in order of debut.

In the role once held by Luciano Pavarotti, tenor Matteo Lippi, a student of Mirella Freni who has achieved international success.
Inspired by the novel The Lady of the Camellias by Alexandre Dumas fils, it tells the tragic fate of the Parisian courtesan Violetta Valéry. During a party at the young woman’s house, she meets the bourgeois Alfredo. Happiness is soon interrupted when Violetta is forced to sacrifice her love to safeguard the good name of her beloved’s family.
