A Unique Opera Experience That Will Move You to TearsForget everything you think you know about filmed opera. Opera Glassworks has created a breathtaking cinematic masterpiece that transforms Verdi's beloved "La Traviata" into an intimate film experience that moved Hollywood legend Sigourney Weaver to tears at its New York premiere.
This isn't a recording of a stage performance – it's pure cinema. Shot entirely with the camera in mind, the fourth wall disappears as you're drawn into Violetta's world. You're not watching from an opera house seat – you're in the room, experiencing every heartbreak up close.
Portuguese soprano Susana Gaspar delivers a tour-de-force performance as the tragic Violetta, while British tenor Thomas Elwin and baritone Roderick Williams complete a stellar cast. The Royal Scottish National Orchestra provides the sumptuous musical backdrop, with innovative choreography creating magical cinematic moments.
