Tune in to WHRO-FM 90.3 this Saturday at 1 p.m. for a live broadcast of Verdi’s “La Traviata,” one of the most beloved and emotionally powerful operas in the repertoire.
At the center of the story is Violetta, a Parisian courtesan who dares to leave behind her glamorous but fragile world in search of genuine love. Soprano Lisette Oropesa returns to the role, bringing both vocal brilliance and emotional depth to this tragic heroine. Opposite her, tenor Piotr Buszewski is Alfredo, the passionate young man who offers her a different life, while baritone Luca Salsi portrays Germont, Alfredo’s father, whose intervention sets the drama on its heartbreaking course.
Under the baton of Antonello Manacorda, the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra and Chorus bring Verdi’s timeless score to life, filled with unforgettable melodies like “Brindisi.”
Join us this Saturday at 1 p.m. on WHRO-FM 90.3, or listen online, for this live broadcast from the Metropolitan Opera.
