A passionate drama of jealousy, sacrifice and betrayal where true love is thwarted by the corrupt morals of society. La Traviata comes from Verdi's fertile middle period where he was creating one hit after another; it contains some of his best-loved music. The soprano Aleksandra Kurzak and tenor Dmytro Popov lead a cast conducted by Karel Mark Chichon.

This archive performance from the Met was first broadcast in January last year and is presented by Mary Jo Heath and commentator Ira Siff.
