Starring: Luisi, Dessay, Polenzani, Hvorostovsky, Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, chorus and ballet. Willy Decker's stunning production of Verdi's unforgettable drama stars the riveting singing actress Natalie Dessay as Violetta.

But then she meets the young and idealistic Alfredo (Matthew Polenzani), who offers her true love - with tragic consequences.
