Have you ever felt intimidated by opera? If so, you are not alone, and More Than Musical may just have the remedy. In keeping with More Than Muscial’s goal of making opera more accessible, we have reduced the runtime from the usual 2.5 hours to about 100 minutes, with no intermission.

Verdi’s original was set in “modern” times, 1853, the year of the premiere, as Verdi wanted the audience to relate to the characters without the filter of “a time longpast”. We, too, have set out production in the present.

La Traviata is a story about social and religious hypocrisy. In 19th century France, wealthy men were permitted to have mistresses, but insisted on virginal behaviour from women in their family circles. Violetta is the embodiment of this dilemma: a courtesan who trades physical intimacy for financial gain.

Then, however, she falls in love and gives up her lucrative and licentious lifestyle. But can a person be forgiven for their mistakes, however heinous? And can a woman be forgiven? This is the critical question of the piece. Verdi’s answer, or rather that of society’s as he saw it, is a resounding “no”.

Allow yourself to be offended by the behaviour of some of the characters, to sympathise with Violetta’s plight, to struggle with Germont’s request, to pity Alfredo’s rage.
