La Traviata by Giuseppe Verdi

Performances

Grand Théâtre

La Traviata by Giuseppe Verdi will be presented at the Grand Théâtre de Genève in a new production, directed by Karin Henkel, from 18 June 2025. The opera, based on Alexandre Dumas fils’s La Dame aux Camélias, tells the tragic story of Violetta Valéry, a courtesan who sacrifices her happiness for the man she loves. Henkel’s fresh interpretation will explore Violetta’s sacrifice through a modern female lens, enhanced by Aleksandar Denić’s sets and Teresa Vergho’s costumes. The production will feature a stellar cast, with Ruzan Mantashyan and Jeanine De Bique alternating as Violetta, and Enea Scala and Julien Behr as Alfredo. Paolo Carignani will conduct the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande.
