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.” Advance tickets for Golden Isles Arts & Humanities Members are $15 for adults and $10 for seniors.
