Violetta is Paris' most sought after courtesan and party girl. Kept by some of the city's wealthiest men, Violetta falls madly in love with Alfredo. Alfredo's father demands Violetta leave him. He says that this relationship is scandalizing the family name. Heartbroken, Violetta complies and writes Alfredo a "Dear John" letter. This classic features the famous drinking song "Libiamo ne'lieti calici." LA TRAVIATA is going to star Memphis based artist Kallen Esperian in the title role. William Joyner will play Alfredo Germont and former Ryan Opera Center (Lyric Opera of Chicago) artist Quinn Kelsey will make his Opera Memphis debut as Germont's father. Karen Tiller returns to direct.

      I thoroughly enjoyed this production of La Triviata. This was the first opera for the person I brought. Chills up and down her arms and legs is all she said. She definitely will attend another opera. Kallen Esperian was magical. Her voice never sounded better. The part of Germont, sang by Wm. Joyner, was masterfully delivered. Germont's father (Quinn Kelsey) really hit a home run. He received one of those crushing cheers as he walked out to take his bow. Overall, this was a memorable opera production that kept me singing all the way home and into the office Monday morning. Thank You Opera Memphis ! Collapse
