After a forced absence of a few years, during which Gaulitana: A Festival of Music’s input in the operatic genre was restricted to virtual grand cinematic productions of operatic scenes, live opera returns to the festival with Giuseppe Verdi best-loved opera La Traviata.

The operatic production, under the baton of Gaulitana’s artistic director Colin Attard and the stage direction of Enrico Castiglione, is being held on Saturday 29th April 2023 starting at 1930hrs.

What actually is La Traviata?
La Traviata, quite literally The Fallen Woman, recounts the story of a Parisian courtesan, who actually falls in love with a courtier, and then ends up dying of tuberculosis. In coming up with this masterpiece, Verdi has been quoted as saying he wanted something “of our own age”, and so it remains to this day. Despite this, he was still coerced into having it set a 100 years earlier, in the time of Richelieu. That’s how La Traviata came to be, with all those flamboyant choruses, parties and hearth-wrenching and soul-baring arias.

“Something of our own age” – Giuseppe Verdi on La Traviata
The opera within the festival
La Traviata will highlight the upcoming 16th festival edition in 2023 and will provide a top “off-season” operatic treat in Gozo to compliment the October operas produced at the island’s two principal theatres – as has always been the case with Gaulitana.

La Traviata 2023, as part of the Gaulitana: Festival of Music, is being supported by Arts Council Malta in collaboration with the Ministry for Gozo through the Investment in Cultural Organisations Gozo programme.
