Giuseppe Verdi: La Traviata @ Grand Théâtre de Genève

Storyline

Taking a classic opera and turning it on its head, Karin Henkel, a leading director in contemporary German theatre, offers a new interpretation of Verdi's masterpiece. In a world dominated by men, where women are exploited and history repeats itself, she explores the fate and sacrifice of a 19th-century heroine through a contemporary female perspective.
