Verdi’s most famous opera in this production directed by Mariusz Treliński achieves absolute artistic heights: the bond uniting music, theatre, and life seems to be closer than ever. What we see on stage, we have seen before: on television, at the cinema, in glossy magazines, on internet portals covering the lives of celebrities. Even so, Treliński’s production is unbelievably attractive, a contemporary show of huge calibre. La Traviata according to Piave, the libretto’s author, is a luxury courtesan from Paris who falls in love. La Traviata according to Treliński is a self-assured, fulfilled artist, owner of an exclusive nightclub. La Traviata dies but the show must go on, because there is no room in the world of glamour for true love and inevitable death.
