As I read I'll often listen to music related to the book. So, I've been listening to "La Traviata" while reading Camille by Dumas. But I had no idea the Teatro Real's version with Lissette Oropesa even existed until I stumbled on your very generous breakdown. My parents played operas often, complete with libretos, but watching Lissette Oropesa is an entire revelation. Thank you so much, as I dry my tears after her encore. Truly outstanding.
Thanks for doing this. WE at Stay at Home Choir are doing Brindisi with Nicky Spence and Soula Parasidis. First time in opera for many of us and huge, huge fun. I wonder if Sempre Libera isn't also coloured by the fact that Violetta has had a bit of a turn, just when the party was really getting warmed up - reminding her of her mortality.
Thank you for this wonderful primer. I’m going to see the 2022 production at the Metropolitan Opera this evening and feel much more equipped to fully appreciate it after watching your video!
Enjoy!!! Nadine Sierra is wonderful and that production is beautiful (it's the same one that I saw, but a different cast). I'm so pleased and honored that you came to me before going to one of my favorite places.

Thanks for this. I'm going to see la traviata next week at covent garden. Your insights will help me enjoy it more.
How exciting! Enjoy it.
Having sung the bit part of Baron Douphol in college, I'm very familiar with this Verdi classic.

Wasn't she amazing? I'm so glad you loved it.
I watched it for the first time today. Found it very enjoyable
I'm so glad!
Thank you for this wonderful guide and explanation. Seeing La Traviata in Miami this week.
Wonderful! Hope you have a wonderful time!

Oh, definitely that, too. She's probably overcompensating her positivity, too.
Thank you for this wonderful primer.

I am really late to your opera party, but I have been having a great time watching your videos.
Thank you so much! I'm planning some more for the new year.
Thank you so much for this. Well done.
