La Traviata

Yesterday I went to opera to see La Traviata, an opera by Giuseppe Verdi. It is based on the novel La dame aux Camélias by Alexandre Dumas, published in 1848. Violetta's role was played by Kristina Opolais and Alfredo's by Giorgio Casciarri. The opera was conducted by Mikko Franck.

Great music, beautiful performances and tragic ending.
