La Traviata

The Story

What makes this production particularly special is the collaboration with passionate singers from Ukraine, for whom this story of coercion, obligation, and loss holds extra significance. The Ukrainian Chamber Opera is composed of top soloists from various Ukrainian opera houses who have united to continue their work beyond their homeland. Several of these soloists have previously performed in the Netherlands with the Kharkiv City Opera, the Kharkiv State Opera, or the Opera of Dnipro.

The ill-fated lovers Violetta and Alfredo will be portrayed by Marianna Tsvietinska and Maxime Vorocheck. These two soloists from the Lviv Opera have achieved great success in these roles in other productions. During this tour, Marianna will be alternated with Maria Knihnytska, who hails from Odessa and performs as a soloist at the San Carlo Opera in Naples. The role of the father, Giorgio Germont, will be sung by Olexander Forkushak, a familiar face at many opera houses across Europe.

The direction is in the hands of Marc Krone, who has earned his reputation with productions such as Aïda and Pearl Fishers with the Kharkiv Opera. The musical direction is led by Jeroen Weierink, who has traveled with various Ukrainian opera productions (including La Traviata, Tosca, Pearl Fishers, Aïda, and Nabucco) across the Benelux. La Traviata marks another collaboration between these two gentlemen, promising a dynamic performance.
