LA TRAVIATA AT PAVILION



Nu Metro brings opera to the big screen at the Pavilion Shopping Centre with La Traviata a film version of Guiseppe Verdi’s famous opera produced by the English National Opera and directed by Peter Konwitschny.

The opera is based on La Dame aux Camélias by Alexander Dumas and outlines the story of Violetta, the high-flying but fragile courtesan forced into surrendering all hope of personal happiness in order to protect her lover’s reputation. It’s a moving tale of society and morality and makes for one of the most emotionally engaging and popular operas of all time.

The cast features Elizabeth Zharoff, Ben Johnson, Anthony Michaels-Moor, Clare Presland, Paul Hopwood, Matthew Hargreaves, Charles Johnston, Martin Lamb and Valerie Ried.
