Heartrending story about a ‘material girl’
Due to current Covid-19 restrictions, we are unfortunately forced to cancel all performances of La traviata. Ticket buyers will be notified by email as soon as possible.
With his La Traviata, Giuseppe Verdi not only told the story of a terminally ill courtesan. He also confronted his contemporaries with their own hypocritical morals. In her forceful production, German director Tatjana Gürbaca does the same.
PLEASE NOTE: you need a valid QR code from the coronavirus entry pass to visit this performance.
