Royal Ballet & Opera: La Traviata Screening

At one of her lavish parties, the celebrated Parisian courtesan Violetta is introduced to Alfredo Germont. She has just returned to public life following a period of illness, and is touched by Alfredo’s concern.

The two instantly fall in love, and Alfredo asks Violetta to join him in the countryside. Though hesitant to leave behind her life of luxury and freedom, she agrees, following her heart. After three months of living with Alfredo, Violetta, alone at the house, receives an unexpected visit from his father, Giorgio Germont, who persuades her to give up Alfredo to save the Germont family from scandal.

Though heartbroken at the thought of leaving Alfredo, Violetta eventually agrees. Rather than return to his family home, Alfredo follows Violetta to Paris. But when he finds her with her former protector Baron Douphol, tensions erupt.

With Violetta’s health increasingly fragile, will it be too late for Alfredo to make amends?
