About

Giuseppe Verdi´s immortal opera in a sumptuous production by Franco Zeffirelli and with world famous singers Teresa Stratas and Placido Domingo – a treat for viewers everywhere.

Acclaimed film and stage director Franco Zeffirelli spared no costs to reproduce the opulent setting of Violetta Valéry´s happiness and downfall. The unparalleled musical quality of the production is guaranteed by some of the world´s most famous musicians: The Metropolitan Opera Orchestra of New York, conductor James Levine and singers Teresa Stratas and Placido Domingo.

As Violetta, soprano Teresa Stratas strikes the right balance between emotional grandeur and physical weakness. And with his meltingly lyrical voice and magnetic stage presence, Placido Domingo embodies Alfredo Germont with a rarely seen passion.

Dazzling…a triumph…not to be missed.” (New York Times)

Stratas not only sings magnificently but also looks the role. With her large, dark doe-eyes, elegant cheekbones and small, slight figure that seems to have the strength of someone possessed, which Violetta is, Stratas is a screen presence as riveting to watch as to listen to…an acting performance of breathtaking intensity…Having cast the film very close to perfection, Zeffirelli has staged it in a way that serves both the film and the grandeur of the score.” (New York Times)
