You really need a synopsis? OK, here goes: Hot courtesan Violetta falls for toff Alfredo and they shack up together. But having sacrificed her life of luxury for love, she finds herself implored by his dad, Giorgio, to dump him for the sake of the family’s reputation.

Michael Mayer‘s new production of Verdi’s great tragic opera features an 18th century set that changes with the seasons. Soprano Diana Damrau sings the role of Violetta, with tenor Juan Diego Flórez as Alfredo. It’s conducted by new Met Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin to launch his tenure.
