La Traviata

About the Show

Opera Hunter is delighted to present a new production of Verdi’s most famous and beloved opera, La Traviata at the MAP mima in Speers Point Park on October 14 and 16, 2022. The story is adapted from the novel The Lady of The Camellias by French writer Alexander Dumas Jnr. It tells the story of Violetta Valery a high class courtesan, her life and times in Paris in the nineteenth century, her love for Alfredo Germont, and the forces of society and family which wrenched them apart. Director Michael Blaxland sets the work in the late 1880’s, depicting both the glamour and the seedy side of the times. There are two casts of principals, the Opera Hunter Chorus, & The Opera Hunter orchestra conducted by Christopher Bearman OAM.
