‘La Traviata’ is one of Giuseppe Verdi’s most popular works. The opera tells the tragic love story between courtesan Violetta Valéry and romantic Alfredo Germont.
During the premiere of “La Traviata” on 6 May 1853 at La Fenice opera house the audience booed and jeered throughout most of the performance. The next day, Verdi wrote to his friend Emanuele Muzio, in perhaps his most famous letter, “La Traviata, last night a failure. Was the fault mine or the singers’? Time will tell.” Verdi made a few revisions to the score, between 1853 and 1854, and the revised version was a great success. “La Traviata” is currently the most performed opera in the world.

The true protagonist of this concert are film soundtracks, ranging from “Over the rainbow” to “Moon river”, performed by the Klassik Swing Italian Quartet led by Gunther Sanin, concertmaster of the orchestra of the Arena in Verona, and the amazing Argentinian soprano Ivanna Speranza.

Music is often the necessary element able to manipulate the attention of the audience, and at the hand of great composers soundtracks are not restricted to commenting the action but become memorable themes which leave an indelible mark in the memory of the spectators.
