Prepare to have your heart touched, troubled, and transformed in a way that only great opera can do and join us on Saturday March 4th at 7:00pm at the Presbyterian Church in Westfield and March 5th at Drew University in Madison, when the New Jersey Festival Orchestra offers a full presentation of Verdi’s La Traviata, sung in Italian with supertitles, acted and in costume.

 

Verdi’s most timeless and lyrical score, La Traviata has continued to captivate audiences for more than 150 years.  In the glitzy world of Paris, a naive young man falls head over heels for a glamorous society party girl. Together they trade the fast life for an idyllic love nest in the country…until bourgeois society values tragically tear them apart and force them to give up their dreams.
