La Traviata by Giuseppe Verdi was born at Venice’s Teatro La Fenice. Like the famous phoenix that gives the theater its name, the opera house has burned down several times, the most recent in 1996. For the reopening of the restored venue, “Dov’era, com’era” (“as it was and where it was“), it was only fitting that Verdi’s masterpiece was chosen. The production, directed by renowned Canadian stage director Robert Carsen, has sparked much discussion and has since become iconic. With Verdi as the guiding theme of the 2024-2025 season at La Fenice, it is no surprise that, twenty years after its premiere, this production remains a cornerstone of the program. Diego Matheuz returns to the podium for four performances from November 22 to 30, 2024, with soprano Marina Monzò making her debut as Violetta, alongside Francesco Demuro and Nicola Alaimo.
