Following last year’s hugely successful live screenings of English National Opera’s award-winning Peter Grimes and Terry Gilliam’s production of Berlioz’s Benvenuto Cellini, ENO Screen is set to broadcast La Traviata live from the Coliseum to Theatr Mwldan on Wednesday March 11 at 7.30pm.
ENO Screen, a partnership between English National Opera and AltiveMedia, was launched in 2013. ENO Screen’s live cinema broadcasts are as distinctive as ENO’s live work in the theatre, creating a unique cinematic experience for audience members across the globe. Multiple HD cameras provide unusual angles and close up views of the action on stage and in the orchestra pit, giving a true cinematic experience for audiences.
ENO presents the first revival of Peter Konwitschny’s celebrated production of one the most popular operas of all time. La traviata tells the devastating tale of Violetta, the beautiful Parisian courtesan who shatters convention and sacrifices everything for love. Verdi’s masterpiece combines compelling characters with hugely moving and instantly recognisable melodies making it one of the most emotionally engaging and popular operas of all time.
ENO Harewood Artist and Wigmore Hall Emerging Talent Ben Johnson returns as Alfredo. He was most recently seen at the London Coliseum singing the role of Tamino in Simon McBurney’s production of The Magic Flute, where he sang ‘superbly throughout’ (Daily Express). In 2013 he was awarded the Audience Prize at the BBC Cardiff Singer of the World.
La Traviata is sung in English with subtitles.
Tickets are £16 (£15) and are available now from Mwldan's Box Office on 01239 621200 and online and via Smartphones by visiting www.mwldan.co.uk.
