New Production of All-Time Favourite – LA TRAVIATA Has World Premiere on Manitoba Opera Stage

A new production of one of the world’s all-time favourite operas – La Traviata – will have its world premiere with Manitoba Opera at the Centennial Concert Hall in Winnipeg, Saturday, April 14 (7:30 pm), Tuesday, April 17 (7 pm), and Friday, April 20 (7:30 pm).

Reset to the glamorous world of 1920s Paris, the new production is the first-ever collaboration of five Canadian opera companies: Pacific Opera Victoria (POV), Vancouver Opera (VO), Edmonton Opera (EO), Manitoba Opera (MO), and Opéra de MontréaI (OM).  Each company provided a fifth of the cost of the production with the set built by EO and the wardrobe and props built/sourced by POV.  Scenery and costume design are by the award-winning, Stratford, Ontario-based designer Christina Poddubiuk.
