La Traviata

Opera Compact

06.10.2023 Opera Compact - La Traviata beeld seizoensbrochure.jpg

La Traviata by Giuseppe Verdi: the beloved opera, presented in a surprising new arrangement for jazz ensemble by Marijn van Prooijen. Result: a feast of recognition and at the same time inspiringly new. A special indoor location in the heart of Maastricht in the Sappi paper factory, three top soloists, young talent and a participation choir complete the experience.

Violetta is in love with Alfredo, but due to an expensive promise to his father, Giorgio Germont, she is ultimately doomed to die a lonely death. Verdi deliberately chose to portray his themes in a contemporary way, thereby exposing the hypocrisy of his time. Sybrand van der Werf's staging focuses on a #self-conscious Violetta, who uses her charms to survive in a male-dominated society. Because the image people have of her does not allow otherwise, she is eventually, weakened by illness, #discarded by this same society. In addition to its irresistibly romantic music, the opera is a timeless indictment of imaging and prejudice.
