Peach State Opera returns to The Ritz
ACS Fashion Show slated for Feb. 1, 2025
Golden Isles Arts & Humanities is
pleased to present the return of Peach
State Opera with Giuseppe Verdi’s La
Traviata, one of the most popular op
eras of all time, on Sunday, January
26, 2025 at 3 pan. at the Historic Ritz
Theatre in downtown Brunswick.
Verdi’s tragic opera, La Traviata,
follows the story of Violetta (a high-
class courtesan
in 19th-century
Paris) and her
passionate love
affair with Al
fredo (a young
nobleman).
Despite their
developing ro
mance, the re
lationship is
soon put under
pressure as so
cietal expecta
tions, misun
derstandings
and illness
threaten to tear
them apart
- ultimately
leading to a
he art -br e aking
conclusion.
La Traviata
contains some
of Verdi’s most
beloved tunes,
including Vio
letta’s first-act
hymn to freedom, “Sempre libera,” as
well as her tragic farewell to life in the
last act, “Addio, del passato bei sogni,”
and the most irresistible of all of Ver
di’s drinking songs, “Libiamo ne’ lieti
calici.”
