On the BOF mainstage this anniversary year is a new production of Giuseppe Verdi’s LA TRAVIATA, the timeless tale of love and sacrifice that has become one of the most beloved operas of all time. Violetta lives a life of decadence and grandeur until she finds true love for the first time with Alfredo. They leave high society for a life in the countryside together, but when fate intervenes, Violetta must make an agonizing choice. Verdi’s exquisite melodies and rousing choruses are a perfect accompaniment for this doomed romance.

Stage Director and BOF Co-founder Jonathon Loy says: “This season will be filled with heightened emotions, not only because we are tackling one of the most popular and tragic operas in the repertoire, La Traviata, but that it coincides with BOF’s 10th anniversary. This is a milestone that calls for celebration, and celebrate we will.”
