Music by Giuseppe Verdi; Libretto by Francesco Piave

Elegant. Emotional. Unforgettable. How much would you sacrifice for love? Violetta holds court at every party in Paris, toasting to high-class pleasures alongside affluent men. But beneath the grandeur lies a fatal disease. Will her time run out before she knows true love? Verdi’s timeless story of fate and sacrifice, renowned for its soaring arias and heart-wrenching ending, proves how “love is the heartbeat of the universe.”

Francesca Zambello’s “stunning new 4-star production” (DC Theatre Scene) features a grand set design and elaborate turn-of-the-century Paris costumes by Tony Award®–winning designer Jess Goldstein. From the famous brindisi drinking song to the heart-wrenching “Addio del passato” aria, La traviata spins an impressive outpouring of melody to convey Violetta’s unforgettable plight.

Pacific Musicworks presents Wayward Sisters

The Italian 17th century gave birth to many groups of highly skilled sopranos – and composers vied with each other to write for them. Choreographer Anna Mansbridge has reimagined these creations as fully theatrical events, pairing four sopranos with three female dancers and our PMW chamber ensemble. The diverse musical landscape includes works by 17th-century masters Rossi, Mazzocchi, and Monteverdi, as well as Doubleheart, composed by renowned Seattle-based conductor/composer Karen P. Thomas, and the world premiere of Stephen Stubbs’ setting of the missing Baccante scene at the end of Monteverdi’s Orfeo. Truly a feast for the eyes and ears!
