WNO's Young Artists Revel in 'La Traviata'

Although Verdi was 40 when "La Traviata" premiered, this is a young people's opera, filled with emotional intensity and based on the life of a storied courtesan who died at age 23. For modern audiences, it is also a gateway opera, an excellent introduction for people unfamiliar with the form.
