A Unique Opera Experience That Will Move You to Tears
Forget everything you think you know about filmed opera. Opera Glassworks has created a breathtaking cinematic masterpiece that transforms Verdi's beloved "La Traviata" into an intimate film experience that moved Hollywood legend Sigourney Weaver to tears at its New York premiere.
This isn't a recording of a stage performance – it's pure cinema. Shot entirely with the camera in mind, the fourth wall disappears as you're drawn into Violetta's world. You're not watching from an opera house seat – you're in the room, experiencing every heartbreak up close.
Portuguese soprano Susana Gaspar delivers a tour-de-force performance as the tragic Violetta, while British tenor Thomas Elwin and baritone Roderick Williams complete a stellar cast. The Royal Scottish National Orchestra provides the sumptuous musical backdrop, with innovative choreography creating magical cinematic moments.
Never been to an opera? This accessible, emotionally direct introduction is perfect for newcomers. Already an opera lover? Prepare to see this masterpiece in an entirely new light, with intimate details impossible in traditional stagings.
*"Stunningly moving... a polished artistic gem"* - Reaction Life
*"The camera becomes a confidant and an interrogator"* - Times Literary Supplement
This extraordinary 117-minute experience promises an unforgettable evening that redefines what opera can be. Book now – you'll understand why audiences everywhere are reaching for tissues.
