Based on the opera by Giuseppe Verdi in two acts. Musical version by Evgeny Kolobov. 130 min. (with interval). Conductors: Dmitry Volosnikov, Valery Kritskov. Performed in Italian with Russian surtitles. This production prefers black to bright colours. Novaya Opera’s "La Traviata" is not a romantic love story, but a tragedy of love and death. The performance begins and ends with Violetta’s death. In the interim, Violetta, like a wounded bird, thrashes and rushes about, trying to break out from the closed circuit of her own destiny. The production reveals the gap between the current and the last century. The theatre not only feels sympathy for Violetta and Alfredo, but mourns over them.
