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.

Handa opera’s spectacular 2012 production of Verdi’s masterpiece upon a floating mirrored stage and augmented by shitloads of fireworks returns to Sydney Harbour. This sold out performance was captured early in 2021.
