The Bardavon continues its screenings of The Met: Live in HD’s 2019 season with an encore broadcast of Verdi’s La Traviata on Saturday, January 26 at the Poughkeespie theater. Met music director Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts Verdi’s beloved tragedy. Directed by Michael Mayer, this new production features a dazzling 18th-century setting that changes with the seasons. Diana Damrau plays the doomed heroine Violetta, opposite Juan Diego Flórez as her lover, Alfredo, and Quinn Kelsey as Alfredo’s protective father, Giorgio Germont.
One half-hour prior to curtain time, ticketholders are invited to a talk at the Bardavon led by Leslie Gerber, who is a music teacher at Marist’s Center for Lifetime Studies and author of all Hudson Valley Philharmonic playbill liner notes. Tickets for La Traviata cost $28 general admission, $26 for Bardavon members and $21 for children aged 12 and under.
