Opera On 3 From The Met: La Traviata

Violetta believes she has recovered from the illness that will have her dying in her lover’s arms by Act III. She invites all her fancy friends round for a celebratory party; it’s a glittering event, but the shadow of death falls across the evening. The soprano Diana Damrau plays Violetta, with the tenor Juan Diego Florez as her young lover, in this live broadcast from the New York Met of Verdi’s heartrendingly beautiful opera. SJ
