In the summer of 2025 Duchy Opera will present their next production:
La Traviata by Giuseppe Verdi
La traviata is inspired by the life and death of the real-life Parisian courtesan Marie Duplessis, about whom Alexandre Dumas wrote a novel and play: La Dame aux camélias. Verdi offers a sympathetic portrayal of the heroine, highlighting Violetta's noble nature and her devotion to Alfredo. It is currently the most performed opera in the world, and the role of Violetta, a favourite for many star sopranos.
