At night, society sparkles in the party lights, and Violetta Valéry is right in the middle of it all. She is surrounded by male gazes: some are only interested in her glamorous appearance; others love her with all their heart, like Alfredo Germont; still others worry about their own reputation, like Alfredo's father. Just as the young couple has found happiness in unvarnished honesty, he demands that they separate. Director Tom Goossens broadens the perspectives and lets the characters struggle over who is allowed to portray whom in what light.

A game with reality begins, between disenchantment, recognition, and acceptance, which does not stop even behind the scenes. The ensemble's radiant voices ring out under the musical direction of Verdi specialist Leo McFall.
