RomeOperaConcerts style!

Based on the experience of Opera Greatest Hits and Romantic Piano, our top rated bestseller that needs no advertising, we have arranged to put inside the concert, after a few opera arias and duets, and before the grand finale dedicated to the most beautiful and famous Neapolitan songs, a wide La Traviata selection of more than half an hour, with costumes and scenes.
A few meters from the center of Rome with its noble palaces that refer to Traviata years with reminiscences of rich, huge and sparkling ballrooms, come to relive the story of Violetta Valery and her lover Alfredo Germont. You will listen to “Sempre libera” and “Parigi o cara” having the performers at a feet distance!
La traviata is one of Giuseppe Verdi’s masterpieces set to an Italian booklet
by Francesco Maria Piave. It is based on La Dame aux camélias (1852),
a play adapted from the 1848 novel by Alexandre Dumas fils.
The story was also brought on movie screens in the 30’s as "Marguerite Gauthier"
by George Cukor starring Greta Garbo, John Barrymore and his brother Lionel Barrymore.
After the great success of Verdi’s Rigoletto, premiered in La Fenice Theatre in Venice
in 1851 the same theatre offered a new commission to which that gave birth to La traviata.
Verdi wanted it to be represented in a contemporary setting (of mid 1800) but the
Fenice Theatre forced him to set it in 17th century.
The premiere happened to be a complete failure.
The opera gained success only after one year being represented in another venetian Theatre.
In the last five seasons Traviata had been the most popular Lyric Opera worldwide with more
than 600 representations.
Violetta Valéry, a young Parisian courtesan, for Alfredo’s love decides to change her life, to abandon Paris, its luxuries and its transgressions, and to move to the countryside. There the two lovers live happily, but one day Alfredo's father, Giorgio Germont, arrives: he asks Violetta to leave Alfredo forever because their unbecoming cohabitation risks blowing up the marriage of his other daughter, Alfredo's sister.
Violetta tries to oppose it, but in the end, convinced by Germont father, she writes a farewell letter to Alfredo, explaining that she misses Paris and his former life. Alfredo, shocked by anger and disappointment, joins her and publicly offends her by throwing money at her feet. Violetta, sick with consumption, is now dying when Alfredo, having come to know the truth, goes to ask her for forgiveness. After seeing him for the last time, Violetta dies.
Small venue, limited audiences, the audience close to the artists and top level performances.
You will be guided in your experience on La traviata and on the other musical pieces performed with a summary of the history, explanations and anecdotes in English.
Immediately after the impressive show, you will have the opportunity to meet the artists drinking Prosecco in the pleasant setting of a free Aperitivo, a small reception to round off your evening in a quintessentially Italian way. The free Aperitivo after the concert is a characteristic of RomeOperaConcerts to increase the sense of a "private event" through the opportunity to meet the artists and to know what they are trying to do with their performances. The RomeOperaConcerts free Aperitivo is very simple: some "mini pizzas" with tomato sauce and some good sparkling wine (Spumante or Prosecco). The secret ingredient is friendship: to put sincere enthusiasm in making music and meeting the audience.
