This event was amazing. The cast was outstanding. The use of a 'body double' for Violetta was very effective in the telling of the story. Overall a very enjoyable night that I would recommend to anyone!

Thoroughly enjoyable. Violetta was superb and the staging with 'other self' very effective. Orchestra magnificent. The delicacy ot its accompaniment beautiful. Alfredo had a lovely voice when he faced the audience and was out front but his performance on Thursday night was a little 'wooden'. However it did not spoil a great evening.

This is an excellent production of La Traviata. Quality of sining was very high (though Alfredo was a little underpowered). Staging was simple and effective. Music was very good.

scenery good, costumes lovely, great choral balance and sensitive orchestration.
soloists had fine voices, especially impressed by lead soprani, both vocals and acting.
Only reservation about performance - difficult to decipher language but poss 'Russians' have difficulty enunciating Italian.
audience obviously enraptured - not a sound in auditorium during show, except for bouts of applause following certain arias.
overall a great evening!

I'm new to Opera - this was my second. Overall a wonderful experience because of the music and singing but Violetta just didnt work in terms of physical image. She didnt look like a believable courtesan - but great voice. Also definitely didnt like the intrusion of the film footage - no point to it - and it took away from what was happening. Didnt like some of the modern scenes but loved the wonderful party scenes and imagery. Alfredo's father was superb in every way.

Performance was excellent, although I felt that the sound was a bit lost in the first act.
Our seats wre in the Stalls Row BB (2 - 5), and it was difficult to read the subtitles as the visible screens were very small. Just listened to the music.

Both intervals were too long. Just one interval would have been adequate.
10€ was too expensive for the programme.

The Grand Canal Theatre is designed for this kind of production. It is roomy, well ventilated, easy in and out, acoustically perfect, visually magnificent. The performance was technically spot on and the orchestra gave it everything. The singers were strong. Verdi was kind to baritones and the older parts are his strongest. I like theatre when it excites and fills the senses or when it surprises and this is where the modern set didn't quite work. Violetta was also just a bit too Russian. Her part lacked Mediterranean passion and her death was disappointing. The only negatives in a great night.

The music was beautiful as expected, the main Soprano was excellent as was the Baritone but was very dissappointed that it wasn't traditional dress as advertised. Did not like the idea of Violetta in the bed at the side of the stage. Thought the seaside setting was poor and did not like the use of multimedia presentation used during the show as this was distracting and unnecessary. It was an enjoyable evening nevertheless and d the theatre is stunning at night.

Such a lovely theater. I enjoyed this production very much. The sets were very original.
The soprano had a wonderful voice, particularly from such a small frame. The baritone and the bass were excellent. I was not very impressed with the tenors.

Violetta sung beautifully. Alfredo needed to be more mature in his singing and acting. The father Giorgio Germont was Superb.
The sets innovative The chorus work was wonderful though their acting left alot to be desired.
The orchestra was as usual truly magnificent even though we had no sight of them which detracted from the usual ambience and warmth of seeing the lights over the music stands.

I thoroughly enjoyed the evening - I love the venue and even though our seats were not the most expensive our view was excellent. I have seen La Traviata before and I have to say that I prefer the traditional period setting rather than this more modern day version. Also Violetta (brilliant voice) did not live up to the image of a beautiful Parisian courtesan - she was not in the least glamorous which was somewhat disappointing but overall a lovely night out.

the bedroom scene in act 1 and in act 3were rather sad.however the character roles were excellent. I will be looking forward to Madame Butterfly and Guilio Caesar and The phantom of the Opera in 2012.

We were promised a traditional staging but, what we got was a very modern staging which I quite liked. It was colourful and pleasant in most respects. The use of a hospital bed while effective in serving it's purpose was, I thought, overdone.The singing was very pleasant and the orchestra was terrific. The modern staging didn't require two half hour intervals and produced a disjointed and fragmented effect.
