The love of Marguerite and Armand became one of the great love stories from its first publication in 1848. The title role of the consumptive heroine and her ultimate sacrifice has inspired actresses from Sarah Bernhardt to Greta Garbo - and Giuseppe Verdi to write "La Traviata". The couple's love burns very bright and is ultimately doomed. This production brings every moment vividly to life.
