A FREE-SPIRITED WOMAN DEFIES SOCIETY’S EXPECTATIONS AT HER OWN PERIL

The deck is stacked against Violetta, the ill-fated heroine of this well-loved tragedy—a courtesan trying to turn her life around, she falls for the romantic Alfredo, but illness and family meddling thwart her one chance at happiness. The buoyant music dances through party scenes and tenderly carries the heartbroken lovers through longing and despair. This stylish new production is designed by Tony Award–winner Christopher Oram and directed by Louisa Muller in her Dallas Opera debut.

Last year’s winner of the Emerging Stars Competition at San Francisco Opera, Chilean soprano Yaritza Véliz brings passion and power to the role of Violetta, and acclaimed Mexican tenor Javier Camarena sings the lovesick Alfredo. Featuring The Dallas Opera Orchestra and Chorus.
