Opera Columbus is set to present a unique production of Giuseppe Verdi’s classic opera, ‘La Traviata,’ from June 3-5, 2022. This reimagined staging, a collaboration with Out of the Box Opera, moves away from traditional theater settings and places the audience directly within Violetta’s world. Helmed by stage director David Lefkowich and General Director Julia Noulin-Mérat, the production aims to create an intimate and engaging experience for operagoers, making them feel like guests at Violetta’s party.

A key innovation of this production is the portrayal of Violetta by three different sopranos, each representing a distinct facet of her character and growth throughout the opera. This approach highlights the musical and emotional complexity of the role, offering a fresh perspective on the beloved story. Performances will take place at the Residence Inn by Marriott Downtown Columbus, requiring moderate walking as the audience immerses itself in the production. The opera will be performed in English, with ticket prices ranging from $60-$100.
