This fall, Piedmont Opera will open its 45th anniversary season with one of the worlds most
beloved operas, Verdi’s La traviata, a love story trapped between two worlds. Violetta, a
courtesan serving Paris’ elite society, encounters Alfredo, an earnest young man genuinely in
love with her. His affection wins Violetta over and she chooses to leave her life behind and live
only for Alfredo, but at what cost to them both. Directed by award-winning director Dr. Steven
LaCosse, La traviata has inspired popular films from Pretty Woman to Moulin Rouge. The show
will open on October 21 (8:00 PM), October 23 (2:00 PM) and close on October 25 (7:30 PM).
