In her Paris salon, the courtesan Violetta Valery welcomes guests to her home, among them Flora Bervoix, Marquis d'Obigny, Baron Douphol and Gastone, who introduces a new admirer, Alfredo Germont.  The latter, confessing that he has adored Violetta from afar, offers a toast at her request; she joins him in the salute to pleasure.  As her guests move into the ballroom, Violetta, suddenly feeling faint, remains behind.  Alfredo returns, concered about her, and ardently declares his love.

Experience this finely woven tale of love and lust masterfully performed by the Austin Lyric Opera--in Italian with English Supertitles.

      Upon the opening of Act I of Austin Lyric Opera’s La Traviata, the audience is dazzled with the visual splendor of 19th Century Paris. Set and Costume designer Desmond Heeley and Lighting Designer Christine A. Binder have created the atmosphere of abundance, wealth and luxury with warm, rich colors, soft, billowing lines, and the illusory techniques of dissolving curtains. In ALO’s current production of La Traviata, the singers, orchestra, and stage direction are of such high quality that the entire evening packs moment after moment of sensory delight. Pamela Armstrong, who plays Violetta Valery has such a rich and textured vocal quality, that it is difficult to get enough of her singing. Her voice is at once soulful and lyrical and is matched with fine acting talent. There are many great performances in this production of La Traviata, but others that particularly stood out were Ann Sauder (Annina), Grant Youngblood (Giorgio), Liz Cass (Flora), the Chorus and the Austin Symphony.
