La Traviata - From Dumas to Verdi

Based on The Lady of The Camellias by Alexander Dumas, Verdi's La Traviata is a classic opera about tragic love. Set in three acts with a libretto written by Francesco Maria Piave, La Traviata can literally be translated to The Fallen Woman, alluding to the opera's theme of forbidden love. Performed for the first time in March 1853, the now world-renowned opera was considered a failure, causing Verdi to question whether his work of art was at fault or the singers.

Time has proven La Traviata to be one of history's most popular operas, with audiences drawn to its enigmatic score. On StubHub! UK you can buy La Travita tickets assured by our FanProtect Guarantee.
