From JANUARY 30-31, San Francisco Opera presents the 2014 production of Giuseppe Verdi's La Traviata by John Copley with revival staging by Laurie Feldman. Leading the cast are soprano Nicole Cabell, who takes on the role of the courtesan Violetta Valéry, tenor Stephen Costello as her lover, Alfredo, and baritone Vladimir Stoyanov as Alfredo's father, Germont. Former San Francisco Opera music director Nicola Luisotti conducts the San Francisco Opera Orchestra in a "frequently revelatory" (San Francisco Classical Voice) interpretation of Verdi's beloved 1853 score. The creative team behind the production are set designer John Conklin, costume designer David Walker, lighting designer Gary Marder and choreographer Yaelisa. La Traviata is performed in Italian with English subtitles and has an approximate running time of 2 hours and 5 minutes.
