Sir David McVicar's excellent production of La traviata opened in Glasgow in 2008 and was revived in 2017. It has also been toured by Welsh National Opera and has been performed by the opera companies in Madrid and Barcelona.
There are fifteen performances spread over the four cities that have suitable theatres.
An innovation this season is that the middle Sunday of the Glasgow and Edinburgh visits has a matinee at 3pm, which should make for greater accessibility.
On 17 May (Glasgow) and 14 June (Edinburgh) there are accessible performances at 3pm, when Inna Husieva will be Violetta. These sessions are reduced to two hours, including a thirty minute interval, and have a narrator and a relaxed atmosphere. The events are designed for people living with dementia or Long Covid. They are also suitable for those who cannot attend evening performances.
